Abstract

In order to select an appropriate turf for stadiums, it is important to compare the shade tolerance of Tifway (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy), Celebration (C. dactylon), and TifGrand (C. dactylon × C. transvaalensis). We conducted growth experiments on three varieties of turf to evaluate their varietal characteristics.

Celebration and TifGrand showed less of a loss of visual evaluation under low light conditions in the short-term than Tifway. However, both Celebration and TifGrand tended to reduce the number of upright stems and the leaf blade width. Consequently, in the long-term, there may be impacts on visual evaluation.
