Abstract

Synthetic turfgrass was developed for longer durability than natural turfgrass. As synthetic turfgrass use increases, disadvantage was exposed and composite turfgrass was designed to reinforce disadvantage of synthetic turfgrass. However, A few researches were conducted to evaluate composite turfgrass in South Korea. Therefore, this research was conducted to select a turfgrass species to maximize practical use of composite turfgrass. In 14 Oct. 2006 synthetic turfgrass was established in the research center in Hanul Sports Turf, Inc. located Hapcheon-Gun, Gyunggnam province. Kentucky bluegrass, Tall fescue, and a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass and Perennial ryegrass were used to combine with synthetic turfgrass. Wide and narrow types of synthetic turfgrass were used. As temperature increase, coverage of tall fescue and the mixture reduced but Kentucky bluegrass had the best result of turfgrass coverage although there were no differences on turfgrass quality among types of turfgrass.

인조잔디는 천연잔디의 단점을 보완하고자 개발이 되어 이용이 되어왔다. 그러나 여러가지 단점이 나타남으로 복합잔디는 천연잔디와 인조잔디의 단점을 보완하기 위해서 개발이 되었으며 최근에 그 이용도가 증가 하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라에서는 복합잔디에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어 지지 않았고 이에 따라 국내에서의 복합잔디의 활용도를 위해 많은 연구를 거쳐 검증이 요구 되는 시점에 있다. 이에 본 실험은 인조잔디와 천연잔디의 장점을 극대화 할 수 있는 복합잔디를 위한 천연잔디의 초종을 선택하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 실험을 위해 인조잔디가 2006년 10월 14일 경남 합천군 합천읍 서산리에 위치한 주식회사 한울의 농장에 식재 되었다. 코오롱에서 제조한 광엽형(엽폭 12 mm)과 세엽형(엽폭 2-3 mm)의 인조잔디로 사용 되었으며 천연잔디는 Kentucky bluegrass, Tall fescue, 그리고 Kentucky bluegrass와 Perennial ryegrass의 Mixture 등이 사용되었다. Kentucky bluegrass가 turfgrass quality에서는 Tall fescue와 KP Mixture를 비교했을 때 차이를 보이지 않았으나 지면피복률에서는 더 좋은 결과를 보여 주었다. 지표면 온도가 상승함에도 Kentucky bluegrass는 인조잔디와 혼합하여 사용되었을 때 Turfgrass quality와 지면피복률 모두 만족할 만한 결과를 보여 주었다.
