| Abstract/Contents: | "Zoysiagrass continues to increase in popularity in transition-zone environments, due to its excellent turfgrass quality, persistence under adverse conditions, and low maintenance requirements. The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program is the predominant means by which cultivars are tested throughout North America. A zoysiagrass cultivar was planted in the summer of 2002 at Fayetteville, Arkansas. This trial has been maintained under golf course fairway conditions and data on spring green-up, overall turf quality, leaf color, leaf texture, seedheads, and frost damage were collected from 2003 to 2006. Zorro, Emerald, and Cavalier were among the commercially available cultivars with the best turf quality across four years. Results from this study are intended to help residents of Arkansas make informed decisions when selecting turfgrass varieties. Planting well-adapted cultivars will improve turfgrass quality, reduce reestablishment costs from winterkill or drought, and ultimately increase sustainability." |
