Abstract/Contents: | "Information regarding irrigation requirements and performance of zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) cultivars is valuable for turfgrass cultivar selection by consumers and researchers. A Linear Gradient Irrigation System (LGIS) provides a relatively efficient way to measure cultivar responses to variable moisture regimes. Ten commercially available cultivars - 'Cavalier', 'PristineFlora', 'Zeon', 'Zorro' (Z. matrella); 'Emerald' (Z. Japonica x Z. matrella (L.) Merr. Var. pacifica Goudswaard); and 'EI Toro', 'Empire', 'Jamur', 'Palisades' and 'UltimateFlora' (Z. japonica) were evaluated during annually occurring dry periods in 2009, 2010, and 2011 for visual ratings of turf quality, color, and density; and canopy reflectance measured using a CM 1000 chlorophyll meter. LGIS offered an irrigation gradient ranging from 0~120% of reference evapotranspiration (ET0). Z. japonica cultivars (except UltimateFlora) performed better than Z. matrella cultivars under severe drought (0~25.2% of ET0). A slight reduction in quality in response to 120% ET0 irrigation level for all Z. japonica entries and most Z. matrella entries (except PristineFlora) was found, indicating the adverse effects of over irrigating zoysiagrass." |
