Abstract/Contents:"Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) is a warm season turfgrass which is well adapted to the transition zone of the United States of America. Seeding of this species is not practical until 20 C during late May or early June. Research was conducted at Beltsville, MD and Carbondale, IL with different covers to obtain earlier seedling establishment and turf usage. Clear polyethylene covers gave more rapid germination and seedling establishment than other materials or no soil cover. Major benefits of covers were increased mean temperatures and soil moisture and less erosion. This method was used to establish 17 fairways on a golf course in southern Illinois in 1985 and 1986."
