Abstract/Contents:"Zoysiagrass is a commonly used turf species in lawns and golf courses in Arkansas, but little information is available regarding the management of these cultivars on golf courses or lawns in Arkansas. The objective of this study was to characterize a general response (color, density, turf quality, and disease incidence) to nitrogen fertilization, mowing, and their interactions among zoysiagrass cultivars. Turf density was improved when fertilizing ≥2 lbs N/1000 ft2/year. Spring green-up was highest for 0.5-inch mown plots. Among 1.5-inch mown plots, higher nitrogen rates (≥4 lbs N/1000 ft2/year) decreased spring green-up. Scalping was greatest when mowing at 0.5-inch and fertilizing with 6 lbs N/1000 ft2/year. There was no advantage to fertilizing more than 2 lbs N/1000 ft2/year. Turf quality was never unacceptable for the unfertilized check plots."
