| Abstract/Contents: | Presents an experiment conducted to "determine differences in establishment rate of zoysiagrass cultivars." States that "the disadvantages of zoysiagrass are few, but its main drawback is slow establishment rate...which increases costs and therefore limits more widespread use on golf courses." Details methods and materials used in the experiment, stating that "plants of commercially available cultivars and experimental cultivars of zoysiagrass...were collected and propagated in the greenhouse in plug trays." Reports that "establishment rate varied widely among cultivars...Cultivars 6186, DALZ0102, El Toro, PZB 33, Chinese Common, 6136, Companion and BMZ 230 had establishment rates significantly greater than the mean." Discusses potential reasons for differences in establishment rate, reporting that "dry weight was allocated differently among cultivars...and growth analysis data suggest cultivars that establish quickly devote more energy to stems (stolons and rhizomes) than to leaves, whereas slow-establishing cultivars devote more energy to leaves than to stems." Concludes that "although rapid growth is desirable during establishment, a more moderate growth rate may be desirable when managing an established turf...[and] a slower growth rate can reduce maintenance costs by reducing mowing and by reducing bunker, greens and car path encroachment...Selecting fast-growing zoysiagrass cultivars will help reduce establishment time, increase revenue and improve course conditions. However, superintendents can also choose certain slow-growing cultivars to help reduce maintenance costs and fulfill site-specific needs." |
