| Abstract/Contents: | Vegetation management around roadsides and guardrails is time consuming and expensive for a Department of Transportation. These organizations desire a dense vegetation that has slow vertical growth and minimal weed invasion once established, and Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is a suitable vegetation for this use. The objective of this study is to evaluate planting timings and methods for establishing zoysiagrass on NC roadsides. Compadre and Crowne zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) plantings were made in fall 2017 and 2018 (September, October, November) and spring 2018 and 2019 (March, April, May) in Lenoir and Yadkin Counties, NC. Following tillage, Crowne was sprigged while Compadre was sprigged and seeded onto 2.4 x 3.7 m plots. During the second year, the seeded cultivar was changed to Zenith (Z. japonica Steud.) because the lack of available Compadre seed. Data collection was initiated in summer of 2018 and continued to July 2020. Mean percentage of zoysiagrass cover was recorded individually for each establishment timing and method. In Yadkin, March and May seedings in year 1 achieved 95% and 98.3% coverage, respectively, whereas, Compadre sprigging coverage was 68.3% and 66.7%, respectively, as of September 2018. In Lenoir, seed planted in November 2017 and March 2018 achieved 31.7% and 35% cover, respectively; whereas, sprig plantings showed <6% coverage in September 2018. Data collected indicated zoysiagrass establishment via seed to have a quicker establishment with greater percent coverage for both location and all timings compared to sprigging. Results for this research can be used to establish zoysiagrass with minimal inputs. |
