This study was carried out to develope new zoysiagrass cultivar 'Millock'(Patent registration No. : 10-2005-0110051). Artificial selfing of collected line of MJ8 was conducted to develope F1 plant (MJ8S). Among the inbred progenies, MJ8S-9 (Millock) showed superior performance in color, density, and rust resistance. 'Millock' showed genetically dark green color, with medium-textured leaf ($4.2{\pm}0.44$ mm), short internode length ($3.5{\pm}0.28$ cm), and wide leaf angle ($52.5{\pm}10.8$ degree). Height to the lowest leaf blade of this cultivar was $1.9{\pm}0.91$ cm, which may allow low mowing height. 'Millock' has a yellowish green stolen. Also, specific bands with primer number OPB 8 by RAPD analysis can be used for a cultivar identification.

This study was carried out to examine the growth performance of 4 species of cool-season grasses and 4 species of zoysiagrasses under salt injury in Seo-san reclaimed area. Grasses were grown on the plots with capillary water interruption layer (WCWIL) and without capillary water interruption layer (WOCWIL) soil systems. Cool-season grass and seeding-type zoysiagrass plots were seeded on 6 Jun, 2006. Vegetative zoysiagrass 'Junggi' was established by sprigging and 'Senock' and 'Millock' were plugged. Electric conductivities of irrigation water (ECw) ranged from 0.28 to $3.3\;dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. Electric conductivities (ECe) of the soil with capillary water interruption layer and without capillary water interruption layer ranged from 0.55 to $9.4\;dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and from 1.84 to $9.4\;dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ respectively. Leaf color, turf quality, coverage rates, and growth rates were rated visually for 2 years. Zoysiagrass 'Junggi', creeping bentgrass, zoysiagrass 'Senock' and 'Millock' showed acceptable growth at salty fairway condition, while Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass mixed with perennial ryegrass, and seeded zoysiagrass 'Zenith' showed establishment rates below 70%. These results will be useful when choosing turf grass species and cultivars for the golf courses in reclaimed land area.
