Seedling development is the most important feature that determines the
competitiveness of the species to be mixed at the stage of artificial meadow
pasture establishment. The aim of this study was to investigate the root and
seedling development of timothy grass (Phleum
pratense L.), kentucky bluegrass (Poa
pratensis .L.), orchardgrass (Dactylis
glomerata L.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea L.), smooth brome (Bromus inermis L.) in two uproot time. The experiment was conducted
in a split-plot design with five replications. Except for the amount of
chlorophyll, the highest, seedling and root length, leaf area index (LAI), root
volume, fresh and dry seedling weight, fresh and dry root weight were
determined at the second uproot time. As the average of the five species, the
highest dry root weight/dry seedling weight was obtained at the second uproot time,
but at the first uproot time in timothy grass
(0.84 g) and orchardgrass (2.02 g). The highest total chlorophyll ratio was
determined in tall fescue, cover temperature, root length and dry root/dry
seedling values were determined in orchardgrass, leaf area index, root
volume, fresh and dry seedling weight, fresh and dry root weight in smooth
brome. The specified
characteristics show that the smooth brome seedling is superior to other
species in terms of settlement and competition. In order to establish a
sustainable artificial meadow pasture, leaf area index (YAI), root volume,
fresh and dry seedling weight, fresh and dry root weights of the species to be
mixed should be taken into account.
