Abstract/Contents: | "The use of the zoysiagrasses in Saudi Arabia is still limited to Zoysia tenuifolia, which is commercially called as Japanese grass or Korean grass in Saudi Arabia and used as an ornamental purpose only. Several newly developed cultivars of zoysiagrass have been tested in the field located near the Arabian Gulf with bermudagrass and some native grasses. The trial field was set in Khal ji, Saudi Arabia. The entry includes, zoysiagrass (hybrid type) cv. Miyako, Nagisa, Zoysia matrella (CM-22), Aeluropus lagopoides, local and imported bermudagrasses. The F2 population of Miyako (hybrid type of Z. japonica and Z. matrella) was also tested side by side. All trials were conducted between 1998 and 1999. Miyako and other zoysiagrasses showed sufficiently good performance as compared to others. Among 184 accessions of F2 generation of Miyako, wide variation was observed and some accessions could be applicable to climatic condition of Saudi Arabia. The present study showed the potential of the use of the zoysiagrasses in Saudi Arabia." |
