Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to "evaluate the tolerance of zoysiagrass cultivars and experimental lines to a summer dry-down treatment as a possible emergency water conservation practice." Describes the methods used in the study, stating that "from the time of sward maturation, the study area was irrigated based on calculated evapotranspiration from an automated weather station, adjusted for monthly warm-season turfgrass crop coefficients and for the distribution uniformity of the study area." Discusses the results, stating that "grasses that recovered quickly following the first year dry-down resulted in the highest quality and lowest percent weeds on July 3, 1997, at the time of initiation of the second dry-down treatment." Concludes that "this study confirmed that there is a large variation in drought resistance within the zoysiagrass genus, as represented by the grasses in this study."
