Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the visual turfgrass's color quality, winter color, and spring green-up under three different soil systems and to make a practical use for sports turf design and construction. Several turfgrasses were evaluated in multi-layer, USGA and mono-layer systems. Turfgrass entries in the study comprised of 3 cultivars from Korean lawngrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) of typical warm-season grass (WSG) and 3 blends and 3 mixtures from Kentucky bluegrass (KB, Poa pratensis L.), perennial ryegrass (PR, Lolium perenne L.), and tall fescue (TF, Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) of cool-season grass (CSG). Significant differences were observed in the turfgrass's color quality, winter color, and spring green-up in the study. Seasonal variation of visual turf color greatly occurred according to soil systems and turfgrasses. Multi-layer and USGA systems were highly associated with better visual color ratings, as compared with mono-layer system. Regardless of soil system, visual turf color in all entries was better from spring to fall than in winter. Great color differences were observed during a period of early December to early spring. CSG produced a better color quality over WSG in any soil system. Overall color ratings for CSG were KB > PR > Mixtures > TF. As for a winter color, its ranking was USGA > multi-layer > mono-layer system. No difference was found in winter among cultivars of Korean lawngrass, being completely brown, but great differences among CSG. Rated best for winter color was PR, followed by CSG mixtures, KB and finally TF in order. It was generally conceded that fast green-up in spring was greatly related with multi-layer over mono-layer system and also CSG over WSG. Among CSG, TF had a fastest green-up. PR was also fast in green-up, but poor in color uniformity. KB, however, was the slowest due to shallow rooting system, when compared with other CSGs. These results demonstrate color differences were greatly variable according to soil systems and also among turfgrass species. A precise decision should be made in selecting turfgrass species and soil system. Multi-layer and USGA systems were considered as the suitable one for turfgrass color quality, winter color and spring green-up. It is a great necessity to combine proper soil system, right turfgrass species, and appropriate mixing rates by a concept-oriented approach, when establishing garden, parks, soccer field, and golf courses and so on.

다단 구조, USGA 구조 및 약식 구조에서 자란 난지형 및 한지형 잔디의 연중 잔디색상 품질, 동절기 색상 및 이른 봄 녹화 특성을 파악하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 다단 구조, USGA 구조 및 약식 구조의 전체 깊이는 각각 60cm, 45cm 및 30cm 이었다. 공시 초종은 들잔디 세 품종과 켄터키 블루그래스, 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 및 톨 페스큐 조합종 및 이들 한지형 혼합구가 각각 세 종류이었다. 연구결과 잔디지반 및 초종별로 잔디색상 품질, 동절기 색상 및 이른 봄 녹화에 대해 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 잔디색상은 지반 및 초종에 따라 계절적인 차이가 나타났는데 다단 구조와 USGA 구조에서 자란 잔디의 색상이 약식 구조에 비해 지속적으로 우수하였다. 지반에 관계없이 난지형 및 한지형 잔디 모두 겨울에 비해 봄부터 가을까지 색상이 양호하였으며 초종 간 차이는 특히 계절적으로 12월 초에서 겨울 휴면기를 벗어나 녹화되기 시작하는 이른 봄 사이 크게 나타났다. 공시 초종 간 잔디색상은 다단 구조, USGA 구조 및 약식 구조에서 한지형 잔디가 난지형 들잔디보다 훨씬 양호하였다. 한지형 잔디의 색상 품질은 켄터키 블루그래스 > 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 > 혼합구 > 톨 페스큐 순서로 나타났다. 그리고 난지형 들잔디의 경우 '야지' 및 '제니스'의 잔디색상이 '중지'에 비해 양호하였다. 동절기 잔디색상의 지반 간 우열관계는 USGA 구조 > 다단 구조 > 약식 구조 순서로 나타났으며, 초종 간 차이는 난지형 '야지', '중지' 및 '제니스'의 경우 모두 완전히 갈색으로 나타났고, 반면 한지형 잔디는 모든 지반에서 녹색을 유지하였다. 이 중 퍼레니얼 라이그래스의 색상이 가장 양호하였으며, 톨 페스큐는 탈색이 빨리 진행되어 녹색이 가장 옅게 나타났고, 켄터키 블루그래스는 퍼레니얼 라이그래스와 톨 페스큐 사이의 색상을 나타내었다. 이른 봄 잔디녹화 속도는 난지형 및 한지형 잔디 모두 다단 구조에서 생육 시 가장 빨랐고, 반면 약식 구조에서 잔디녹화가 초종에 관계없이 가장 느리게 나타났다. 잔디지반에 관계없이 모두 난지형에 비해 한지형 잔디의 이른 봄 녹화속도가 훨씬 빨랐다. 한지형 잔디 중에서는 톨 페스큐의 색상 균일도가 가장 양호하였으며, 퍼레니얼 라이그래스의 경우 녹화 속도는 빨랐지만 색상의 균일도가 떨어졌다. 그리고 켄터키 블루그래스의 녹화 속도는 가장 느리게 나타났는데, 이는 근계 발달이 낮게 분포하기 때문이라 판단되었다. 종합적으로 잔디지반에 따라 색상 품질 차이가 크게 나타났고, 또한 동일 지반에서도 초종별로 그 차이가 크기 때문에 잔디 초종 및 지반 선정 시 주의 깊게 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 우수한 잔디 색상품질, 동절기 색상 및 이른 봄 녹화를 위해서는 약식 구조 대신 다층 구조(다단 구조 및 USGA 구조)가 바람직하다. 또한 혼합구의 경우 켄터키 블루그래스, 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 및 톨 페스큐 혼합 정도에 따라 연중 잔디색상품질, 동절기 색상 및 이른 봄 녹화가 다르게 나타났기 때문에 정원, 공원, 경기장 및 골프장 등 잔디밭 조성 시 컨셉에 의한 초종 선정 및 혼합율을 결정하는 것이 필요하다.
