Water for use in turfgrass irrigation is becoming increasingly limited, which often leads to decline in turf quality, particularly in semiarid and arid regions. Therefore, water conservation becomes a prime concern of turfgrass managers and growers . This situation is complicated by weather patterns that lead to extreme weather such extended as drought and heat. The objective of this investigation was to evaluation of visual quality and draught resistance of native Festuca ovinain Lorestan in the forms of two separate experiment. In the first experiment, in order to assess the turf quality, after establishing and covering the surface of the PVC pots (60 cm deep ) with turf grass,three levels (2, 4 and 6 cm ) were applied in species every week. This experiment was done factorial based on completely randomized blocks design and during that shoot growth, tillering, color, leaf width, fresh and dry weight were measured every week.The result of first experiment showed Festuca ovina despite of less color compared to Poa pratensiswas suitable for turf establishment for such a important variety characteristic as field germination speed, sward density, re-growth after cuts and leaf width (0.59 mm ). By the way surface of 2 cm is the best height for this species. The objective of the second exoeriment was to determine the drought resistance of turfgrasses.This experiment was done on the completely randomized blocks design. Drought treatment was done with withholding irrigation until leaf wilting of most control plants reach 100%. During the stress period, shoot growth, fresh and dry weight, color, prolin content, chlorophyll content (Chl), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), percentage of drying, root penetration, root fresh and dry weight and effective depth of root density were measured. The result of second exoeriment showed that in every two species, drought stress caused to decline grass quality. Reduction of, shoot growth, fresh and dry weight in Poa pratensis was greeter than Festuca ovina. Festuca ovina was the best for root fresh and dry weight, root penetration and depth of root density. Prolin content, chlorophyll content, color, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase was the most in Festuca ovina in comparison with control plants at 20d. Drying penetration in Festuca ovina was increased with more delayed than Poa. The prolonged drought stress decreased APX and CAT activities and increased prolin content and drying penetration in Festuca. These results suggested that drought tolerance could be related to increases in antioxidant activities and proline content. However, prolonged drought stress suppressed APX and CAT activities.
