| Abstract/Contents: | "Zoysiagrass, a warm-season turfgrass, is traditionally used in Japan as it is well adapted and distributed throughout the country. However, the performance of other warm season turfgrass species has not been well studied, therefore an experiment was designed to compare the major warm-season turfgrass species under Japanese conditions. Nine species and some cultivars within each species were evaluated each month for two years for their quality (colour, density and uniformity) and disease resistance. Lovegrass, buffalograss, St. Augustinegrass and four cultivars of Bermudagrass did not form satisfactory turf. Bahiagrass formed an average turf, whereas 'Tifdwarf', 'Tifgreen' and 'Tifway' Bermudagrass formed good turf quality, except during July and from November until April. Kikuyugrass produced the best quality turf among the species examined in November and December but its quality was reduced sharply from January until June due to low temperature stress. Carpetgrass and centipedegrass formed the best overall turf quality except during July. Zoysiagrass, on the other hand, produced good turf from April until November but it was one of the earliest species to become dormant in the autumn. The high quality of zoysiagrass in July is suggested to be due to its good shade tolerance and adaptation to the Japanese climate, whereas the reduction in the quality of other species was attributed to lack of shade tolerance in the rainy season and low temperature tolerance during the winter." |
