The 2011 Japanese Society of Turfgrass Science was divided in oral presentation, sectional meeting and small symposium, and the total 55 subject was announced. The oral presentation was reported physiological ecology of turf, disease and weed; field management; pesticidal activity and spectrum of new turf pesticides. Above all, there was presentation that investigated control method of necrotic ring spot of new turf disease and Cyperus brevifolius, annual bluegrass and mouse-ear chickweed. In addition, the control effect of new registration fungicide (Furametpyr) and herbicides (S-metolachlor, Flucetosulfuron and Foramsulfuron) were announced. There was various information interchange through 4 kinds of subjects of a golf course, ground turf, a urban park greens and ground cover plants greening by the sectional meeting, and the genetic resource of turfgrass discussed by small symposium. Specially, park greens sectional meeting was announced about the radioactive material contaminated on mechanism and effectively removal method of the radioactivity contaminant from public park, school ground and domestic lawn.

In this study, a propagation characteristics of green kyllinga(Kyllinga brevifolia var. leiolepsis H.) was investigated. Two to three rhizomes(1st rhizome) arised from the basal part of main shoot at 4th leaf stage and were grown to extend on the soil surface. Then new shoots(lst tillers) emerged from every node of the 1st rhizome. Second rhizomes also arised from the basal part of lst tiller at the time of 4th leaf openning. With such a regularity, 5th rhizomes and about 688 shoots were produced from one plant during one year-cultivation without competition under the natural condition. The degree of vegetative growth and seed formation was 3 times and 2.5 times higher in rhizomeoriginated plant than in that from seed, respectively. The amount of seed formation and the 1000 seeds weight was highest in one planted on June 1 and Aug. 1, respectively. Short-day treatment of less than 14hr appeared to be necessary for the induction of flowering and it was effective as treated not during germination but since at least 2 leaf stage of green kyllinga. Each shoot individually responded to short-day. When plants were exposed to short-day (9hr, day / 15hr, night) treatment at the stage of 2-3 leaves, more than 7 cycles were required for flowering induction. Bolting in main shoot occurred after emergence of 4 leaves under the short-day condition. Exogenous $GA_3$ slightly accelerated the velocity of bolting only in short-day condition.
