Q.1
ICAR AIEEA PG 2024 - Horticulture (Q.105)
Statement Based +4 −1

Given below are two statements

Statement (I) : Lawn grass, Cynodon dactylon L., is most widely used on lawns, roadsides, parks, school grounds, playgrounds, golf courses and other areas where a close mown dense turf is required.
Statement (II) : Cynodon dactylon L., Stenotaphrum secundatum and Paspalum notatum are cool season grasses and highly suitable for lawn making in cool areas.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

नीचे दो कथन दिए गए हैं

कथन (I) : लॉन घास, Cynodon dactylon L. (दूब घास), का उपयोग लॉन, सड़क के किनारों, पार्कों, स्कूल के मैदानों, खेल के मैदानों, गोल्फ कोर्स और अन्य क्षेत्रों में सबसे व्यापक रूप से किया जाता है जहाँ घने टर्फ की आवश्यकता होती है।
कथन (II) : Cynodon dactylon L., Stenotaphrum secundatum और Paspalum notatum शीत ऋतु की घासें (cool season grasses) हैं और ठंडे क्षेत्रों में लॉन बनाने के लिए अत्यधिक उपयुक्त हैं।

उपर्युक्त कथनों के आलोक में, नीचे दिए गए विकल्पों में से सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर चुनें :

  • Statement (I) is true: Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass / Doob grass) is the most popular, resilient, wear-tolerant, and widely planted turfgrass worldwide for sports turf, parks, golf courses, and residential lawns.
  • Statement (II) is false: Cynodon dactylon, Stenotaphrum secundatum (St. Augustine grass), and Paspalum notatum (Bahiagrass) are warm-season $\text{C}_4$ grasses that go dormant and turn brown during cold winter months ($\lt 10^\circ\text{C}$); they are completely unsuitable for cool temperate lawns (which require $\text{C}_3$ cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, fescues, and perennial ryegrass).
Therefore, Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false (Option 3).
  • कथन (I) सही है: दूब घास (Cynodon dactylon) विश्वभर में लॉन, गोल्फ कोर्स और खेल मैदानों के लिए सबसे लोकप्रिय व टिकाऊ टर्फ घास है।
  • कथन (II) गलत है: दूब घास (Cynodon dactylon), सेंट ऑगस्टीन घास (Stenotaphrum) तथा बाहिया घास (Paspalum) उष्ण-मौसम की ($\text{C}_4$) घासें हैं, न कि ठंडे मौसम की (cool season) घासें। सर्दियों में ठंड पड़ने पर ये भूरी पड़कर सुप्त हो जाती हैं।
अतः कथन (I) सही है लेकिन कथन (II) गलत है (विकल्प 3 सही है)।
