Abstract/Contents:"Zoysia is a warm season turfgrass genus native to Asia and the South Pacific that is well adapted to the transition (including Mediterranean), warm-arid and warm-humid climatic zones. Zoysiagrass is relatively inexpensive to maintain and environment friendly because of its excellent heat, drought, pest and wear tolerance compared with the more common cool season grasses, its main disadvantage lies in its slow establishment which limits a more widespread use. The objective of this study carried out at the research station of CeRTES, University of Pisa (43° 40' N, 10° 19' E, 6 m.a.s.l.), was to evaluate the differences in establishment rate and adaptation to the latitude of coastal Tuscany. In this study 5 cultivars of Zoysia japonica Steud., 2 cultivars of Zoysia matrella (L.) Merr., Zoysia tenuifolia Willd. Ex Thiele and 2 interspecific hybrids of Zoysia japonica x Z. pacifica Groundsw. were evaluated. Sample stolon length, stolon number per plant and stolon cumulative length per unit area were measured. During the establishment period stolon weekly growth rate was measured along with monitoring temperate at soil surface. Ground cover until full establishment, turf quality and turf colour were also evaluated. For the tested zoysiagrass cultivars, ground cover was more influenced by stolon number than by stolon length. Stolon growth sensitivity to ground temperature seems to be cultivar specific and indicates that most zoysiagrass cultivars continue to grow until average ground temperatures reach 10°C."
