| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "identify if mowing height impacts zoysiagrass establishment by plugs and if there are any mowing height by cultivar interactions." Explains that "the main roadblock to widespread zoysiagrass use is its slow establishment and growth rate." Describes the study procedures, stating that "plant material of 5 commercially available zoysiagrass cultivars was collected in the fall of 2003 and propagated in the greenhouse until the initiation of the experiment." Reports that "El Toro and Palisades had the highest coverage with Diamond having the lowest coverage." Concludes that "the impact of mowing height is consistent with [the] hypothesis and with anecdotal observations were [where] mowing at 0.75 inches favored zoysiagrass sprig establishment on a golf course compared to a 0.5 inch mowing height." |
