English Abstract

This experiment was carried out in Raparen University, Pishdar Region, located in Sulimani Governorate 35° 32' N, 45° 21' E, and 730 meters altitude for the period from March 26th 2012 to December 26th 2012 to study the performance of cold season grass mixture consist of six grasses (Lolium pernne Green fair 5%, Lolium pernne Keystone 5%, Festuca arundinacea Stariett 35%, Festuca arundinacea Olimpic gold 35%, Poapratensis Panduro 10%, Poa pratensis Miracle 10% ) to three soil amendment, peat moss which used in three level (0, 1, 2) Litter/m2 , perlite (0, 3) Litter/m2 , and plant gel (0, 100, 150) gm/m2.

The experiment was laid out by use Randomize Complete Block Design( RCBD ) with three replication .

The results can be summarized as follows.

Add peat moss as a soil amendment to the media of lawn with 2 litter/m2 decreased root depth and increased total chlorophyll when compared with other levels.

Also add perlite level of 3 litter/m2 increased root depth 51.62 cm and decreased soil pH 7.65 significantly, when compared with other levels.

And add plant gel 150 gm/m2 decreased root depth 50.32 cm significantly.The highest plant density 512 plants/m2 and plant length 16.16 cm was recorded in treatment that contain the third level of peat moss (2 liter/m2) and second level of perlite (3 litter/m2), while the largest leaf area which reached 131.71 mm2 were recorded in the first level of peat moss (0 liter/m2) and second level of perlite (3 litter/m2).The triple interaction among all factors had an effect on leaf area.

the highest chlorophyll content 62.03 mg/100 gm fresh weight was found in treatment that contain of the 1 litter/m2 of peat moss, 0 litter/m2 of perlite and 150gm/m2 of plant gel .

In the case of vegetative fresh weight the highest value 478.67 gm/m2 was recorded in the soil that contain 2 Litter/m2 peat moss, 3 Litter/m2 perlite and 100 gm/m2 plant gel.
