Abstract/Contents:"The objectives of this project are to identify cold hardy, warm season turfgrass genotypes, with initial emphasis on zoysiagrass, for possible use in the transition area using controlled environment freezing tests and to correlate freezing tests with field observations of winter survival. Twenty-four cultivars of the NTEP zoysiagrass test are now well established and are being used in experiments designed to predict long-term cultivar hardiness by means of controlled freezing tests. Seperation of zoysiagrass entries according to shoot regrowth after freezing began at -10C with maximum separation at -14C. The order of tolerance to -14C freezing was Belair > Korean Common > Sunburst = TGS W10 > Meyer > El Toro and three experimentals > Emerald, the only entry which did not survive -14C."
