Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of different combinations of combined fertilizer dose applications on the turfgrass characteristics of a turf mixture in the ecological conditions of Sakarya/Pamukova in Turkey, between the years of 2013-2015. The research was conducted in the randomized block design with four replications. A cool season turf mixture consisting of 40% Lolium perenne L., cv. Integra, 25% Festuca rubra rubra L., cv. Eugene, 20% Festuca rubra commutata Gaud., cv. Survivor and 15% Poa pratensis L., cv. Evora was used as the material of the study. Such is a widely used mixture in the region. Nine different combination of NPK fertilizer doses (0-0-0, 5-2.5-2.5, 10-5-5, 15-7.5-7.5, 20-10-10, 25-12.5-12.5, 30-15-15, 35-17.5-17.5 and 40-20-20 g m-2 respectively) were tested. In this research; turf cover, weed invasion, uniformity, turf texture, color and turf quality were determined. At the end of the study, the most promising data were taken from the 30-15-15 g m-2 fertilizer dose compared to control
