In order to provide reference for appropriate choice of turfgrass species in Kunming districts,ten turfgrass cultivars from two types(each type including five species) were chosen as experiment material for comparative study of culture in Kunming districts,the biological characteristics,seedling vigor,into the floor rate,disease resistance,drought resistance,coverage and comprehensive quality lawn of ten materials were compared and analyzed. The results were as follows:(i) The characteristic of six cold-season turfgrass species including Lolium perenne(‘Yeying’and‘No. 2 Xinsu’),Agrostis matsumurae(‘Lubao’and ‘Jiabao’) and Festuca elata(‘Pufujianguying’and‘Pate’) were turfing faster,long green period,good coverage,uniform,low damage caused by pathogenic bacteria and pests,more resistant to drought and no dormancy in winter and summer and better integrated quality in Kunming districts. Six cultivars above were suitable for flooring space promotion.(ii) Four Warm-season turfgrass species including Cynodon dactylon(‘Putongguoyagen’and‘Ruila’) and Zoysia japonica(‘Putongjielucao’and‘Ribenjielucao’) showed short green period relatively,poor uniformity,weaker resistance,appearing yellow and dormancy in winter,high maintenance costs and poor integrated quality.(iii) Among ten turfgrass evaluated and analyzed integrated,‘Lubao’and‘Jiamei’belonging to Festuca elata showed the best. Agrostis matsumurae(‘Pufujianguying’and‘Pate’) showed better,but their resistance to drought was weaker,these two species were not suitable under extensive management condition. ‘Putongjielucao’showed slow emergence,turfing difficulties,poor resistance and the worst integrated quality. To choose this species should be careful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
