| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by Texas A&M AgriLife Research to better understand zoysiagrass as there is "little available information on relative shade performance." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the project was initiated by randomly planting multiple 4-square-inch plugs representing 10 commercially available zoysiagrass (both Z. japonica and Z. matrella) cultivars throughout the shade nursery." Reports that "it had become clear that the finer textured zoysiagrass cultivars (Z. matrellas) possess much better shade tolerance than their coarser-textured counterparts (Z. japonicas)." Concludes "the top four performers in our study were Z. matrella, while four of the bottom six were Z. japonica cultivars. Clearly, newer cultivars of zoysia are superior to Meyer in terms of shade tolerance." |
