Abstract

The study was initiated to evaluate the effects of overseeding warm-season grass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) with cool-season grasses (CSG) on turfgrass density, uniformity and tiller appearance and to determine turfgrass species and seeding rate applicable for a practical use. Treatments were comprised of Kentucky bluegrass (KB, Poa pratensis L.), perennial ryegrass (PR, Lolium perenne L.), tall fescue (TF, Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and their mixtures. Overall turfgrass density and uniformity were much better with the overseeded treatments over the control. In early stage after overseeding, the greater the PR in treatments, the greater the turfgrass density and uniformity. But the higher the KB, the lower the density and uniformity. From the middle-stage evaluation, however, we observed the opposite results as compared with early-stage findings. Accordingly, the KB was highest in turfgrass density and uniformity, while the PR lowest. In regards of mixtures, both turfgrass density and uniformity were better with increased KB and decreased PR in overseeding rates. As for a medium-quality mixtures of Korean lawngrass with CSG, it would be the best choice to apply with KB at $50g\;m^{-2}$ and equal combination of KB, PR and TF by 1/3 in mixing at $75g\;m^{-2}$ in terms of sustainable density and uniformity.

본 연구는 한국잔디에 주요 한지형 잔디인 켄터키 블루그래스, 톨 페스큐, 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 및 이들 초종의 혼합구를 오버씨딩 후 혼합 식생 잔디밭의 잔디밀도, 균일도 및 분얼경 비교와 함께 적합한 초종 및 파종량을 규명함으로 실무에 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 얻기 위해 수행하였다. 공시재료는 대조구인 한국잔디를 포함해 한지형 단일 초종구 3종류 및 혼합구 4 종류-전체 8개 처리구를 준비하였다. 2007년 10월 초순 오버씨딩 시 파종량은 처리구에 따라 $50-150g\;m^{-2}$ 사이로 적용하였다. 잔디밀도 및 균일도는 초종에 따라 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 전체적으로 연중 잔디밭 밀도 및 균일도는 혼식잔디가 한국잔디에 비해 우수한 경향으로 나타났다. 오버씨딩 초종, 파종량 및 계절에 따라 잔디밀도 및 균일도 차이가 나타나서 초기에는 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 파종량이 많고, 켄터키 블루그래스 파종량이 적은 처리구일수록 잔디밀도 및 균일도가 양호하였다. 하지만 오버씨딩 다음해에는 우열관계가 바뀌어 장기적으로 단일 초종구의 경우 켄터키 블루그래스가 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 및 톨 페스큐에 비해 양호하였다. 혼합구일 경우에는 켄터키 블루그래스 파종량이 많을수록, 반대로 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 파종량이 적을수록 잔디밀도 및 균일도가 양호하였다. 그리고 대조구인 한국잔디의 밀도 및 균일도는 3월 초순부터 9월 하순까지 증가하였지만, 늦가을에 기온이 하강하면서 크게 감소하였다. 중정도 수준의 혼식 잔디밭에서 지속적으로 잔디밀도 및 균일도에 적합한 초종 및 파종량은 단일 초종구인 경우 켄터키 블루그래스 50 g, 혼합구인 경우 켄터키 블루그래스, 톨 페스큐 및 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 세 초종이 33%씩 혼합해서 75 g을 파종할 경우 적합하다고 판단되었다. 본 실험를 통해 나타난 다양한 연구결과는 한국잔디로 조성된 공원, 잔디구장 및 골프장을 한지형 잔디로 오버씨딩해서 혼합 식생 잔디밭으로 전환할 경우 실무적으로 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 즉 오버씨딩 시 한지형 초종 및 파종량 범위를 적절하게 선정할 경우 한국잔디의 녹색기간 연장과 함께 잔디밀도 및 균일도 등 품질이 향상될 수 있다.
