This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different growing medium (Co: control, Wp: wood powder, Pe: perlite, and Tu: turf (cocopeat)), substrates (Cf: cotton fiber, Pf: polyester fiber, Pm: polyester mesh), and irrigation method (Sp: sprinkler, Ti: tidal, and Fp: fogponic) applications on soilless roll sod, the following characteristics were examined: fresh grass yield (g m² -1), dry matter rate (%), dry grass yield (g m² -1), plant height (mm), emergence speed (day), covering speed (day), root length (cm), overall appearance (1-9), shoot diameter (mm), tiller number (number cm2 -1), leaf blade length (cm), leaf blade width (mm) and the index value (leaf blade length/leaf blade width). It was observed that there was no statistical difference between the applications in terms of overall appearance values. When root length and tiller number values, which are among the important growth parameters in the soilless roll sod production, application conveniences, biodegradability, and production costs are considered together, "Tu" growing medium, "Cf" substrate and "Sp" irrigation method applications came to the fore. To be able to obtain more realistic recommendations on this issue, land applications should be included in future research.}, number={2}, publisher={Igdir University}, organization={S.Ü. BAP}
