Abstract

We evaluated the effects of different irrigation depths and nitrogen levels interactions on turf grass (Lollium perenne).  Current study was applied in Ferdowsi University with nitrogen treatments: without nitrogen-N0, N1 to the monthly requirement (1.83 grams per square meter) and N2 be two times monthly (3.66 grams per square meter) and five water treatments: W1- 44%, W2- 70%, W3- 85%, W4-100% and W5 equals to 110% water requirements. Finally, the NTEP turf quality with its height was measured and data were analyzed by software JUMP 4. The analysis of variance table shows that the effect of nitrogen level on grass is of a high quality. Treated water at 1% on height and 5 in turf quality are effective. Water and nitrogen interaction was significant at 5% level and the height of the grass quality was insignificant.
