Abstract
The effects of various pretreatment in Zoysia japonica are summarized as follows: Seeds that were treated for 7 days in $4^{circ}$C showed a little higher germination rates than those that were treated 3 days in $4^{circ}$C and for 1 day, 3 days in $-20^{circ}$C. Germination rates of the seeds that were soaked in NaOC1 showed higher germination rates than control group. BA 0.1 mg$\cdot$$L^{-1}$ treatment showed a little higher germination than GA3 0.1 mg$\cdot$$L^{-1}$, NAA 0.1 mg$\cdot$$L^{-1}$. Seed germination rates increased around $20^{circ}$C when the samples treated by BA and scarification. Leaf morphological didn't different between control and pretreatment groups.
