The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomised Block Design with treatments consisting of three mowing heights (3 cm, 6 cm and 9 cm) and three mowing intervals (7 days, 11 days and 15 days) replicated three times. Mowing the lawn on a regular basis makes the lawn aesthetically appealing, maintain its health and helps to keep the grass short, neat and even. In the present findings for C. dactylon ×C. transvaalensis ‘Tifdwarf’ at 3 cm mowing height and 7 days mowing interval was found best, with maximum shoot density, clipping yield, total chlorophyll content, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
