Current demands for the reduction of negative impact of activities influencing the environment directly concern the process of care and maintenance of golf areas. The conviction of the need to minimise the negative influence of technology on the golf course has led to the implementation of alternative techniques and preparations. The aim is to provide the needed quality of lawn mainly by means of organic substances in the most environmentally-friendly way. The primary principle thus is the exclusion of any chemical substances from the group of pesticides. The objective of the diploma thesis was the detection of the influence of chosen organic substances on the quality of the lawn. Besides the overall quality of the lawn, the influence of individual substances on partial features of the quality was evaluated such as the density of lawn, turf cover, colour of lawn, damage caused by diseases, occurrence of weeds and aesthetic appearance. The evaluation of the influence of the substances was carried out in Vrbinky golf course in Piešťany during full operation of areas as well as during maintenance (mowing, irrigation, fertilization, without the usage of pesticides). The aim of such way was the simulation of real care of the golf course. The choice of substances was influenced by the demand on the representation of different groups of substances. Biofungicide, extract from sea algae and mycorrhiza were used in the experiment as well as two substances of organic fertilizer. Experiment areas were founded on two different types of lawn: on the fairway and semi-rough. The evaluation of observed features and overall quality was being carried out during the whole period of observation. Interpretations dealt with the evaluation of data independently of terms. The evaluation of results of measurement on the areas of fairway did not show any fundamental influence of substances on the overall quality of the lawn in comparison with the area where no substance had been used. The evaluation of results of the influence on the overall quality on the area of semi-rough showed significant improvement of the quality of the lawn in the areas where bio-fungicide had been used in comparison with the area where no substance had been used.
