Characteristics Of Some Warm Climate Grass Plants Commonly Used In Green Field Plant

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of Cynodon, Zoysia and Paspalum genera and species, which are widely used in multi-purpose turf field facilities in temperate climate zones. All of these varieties are defined as warm climate grass. The genus Cynodan includes the most widely used species, especially with its resistance to high temperatures. Compared to other hot climate grass plants, Zoysia is successfully used in the formation of green areas with species that have very good shade tolerance and low temperature tolerance. Paspalum includes species that stand out with their resistance to salinity, drought and oppression, and it is successfully applied in erosion control as well as creating turf fields for different purposes.
