Vehicular traffic on turf results in loss of green cover due to direct tearing of shoots and indirect long-term soil compaction. Protection of turfgrass crowns from wear could increase the ability of turf to recover from heavy traffic. Plastic turfpavers have been installed in trafficked areas to reduce soil compaction and to protect turfgrass crowns from wear. The objectives of this study were to evaluate traffic performance of turfgrasses (Zoysia matrella and Axonopus compressus) and soil mixture (high, medium and low sand mix) combinations on turf-paver complex. The traffic performance of turf and recovery was evaluated based on percent green cover determined by digital image analysis and spectral reflectance responses by NDVI-meter. Bulk density cores indicated significant increase in soil compaction from medium and low sand mixtures compared to high sand mixture. Higher reduction of percent green cover was observed from A. compressus (30-40%) than Z. matrella (10-20%) across soil mixtures. Both turf species displayed higher wear tolerance when established on higher sand (>50% sand) than low sand mixture. Positive turf recovery was also supported by complementary spectral responses. Establishment of Zoysia matrella turf on turfpaver complex using high sand mixture will result in improved wear tolerance.

In use of pesticides in golf courses has been increased steadily. Environmental concern as well as decrease in efficiency led the turfgrass management into an alternate approach of using beneficial microorganism to deal with turfgrass pests. This study was focused on the use of such microorganisms for improving cultural environment and minimizing the use of pesticides. Microorganisms antagonistic to turfgrass diseases were applied to zoysiagrass fairways and creeping bentgrass greens in Yusung country club. Tharch accumulation, disease occurrence, and other cultural environments were compared among the combinations of microorganisms and suppliemental N applications. The application of microorganisms antagonistic to turfgrass diseases improved turf resiliency. Thatch thickness was 3.03cm in the control plot but it was 2.11cm in plots treated by microorganisms, indicating significant effects of microorganism application on reduction of thatch accumulation. Number of microorganism that can decompose of cellulose was higher at the plots treated with useful microbial products and it was considered that existence of higher population of microorganisms resulted in reduction of thatch accumulation. In the evaluation of relationship between thatch accumulation and disease occurrence, greater thatch accumulation was observed at the golf courses which have been frequently infested by large patch. However, the rate of thatch accumulation varied among surveyed golf courses regardless of the year of turf establishment. Therefore, management practice which can be effective for reduction of thatch could result in large patch suppression. The application of microorganisms on the established turfgrasses reduced the occurrence rate of pythium blight and yellow path diseases, whereas occurrence of brown patch and dollar spot increased.

Aphanisticus congener is a newly recorded buprestid (Coleoptera) insect pest of turfgrass in Korea. This buprestid pest was initially found from turfgrass conservation site in a greenhouse in Jinju, Gyeongnam province, Korea in July, 2014. The Aphanisticus in the family Buprestidae is a leaf miner. A. congener is the close species of A. aeneus which was firstly reported as sugarcane leaf sucker in India. A. congener was active from early July to late August in the greenhouse. Damage by the insect led to drying out and browning of turfgrass leaf because larva fed on cell sap of leaves and adult fed on leaf surface. A. congener damaged Zoysia japonica, Z. sinica, Conodon dactylon, and Poa pratensis when adults were artificially released into potted turfgrasses in the laboratory. In green house, A. congener damaged Z. japonica, Z. macrostachya, Z. matrella, Z. sinica, Conodon dactylon, and hybrid zoysiagrass. However, no damage symptoms were observed from the same turfgrass accessions in the nearby field of the greenhouse. Thus, the new coleopteran pest may be a warm-adapted pest for turfgrass, damaging turfgrass leaf only in warmer conditions.

Vegetation cover plays a vital role in stabilizing the soil structure, thereby contributing to surface erosion control. Surface vegetation acts as a shelterbelt that controls the flow velocity and reduces the kinetic energy of the water near the soil surface, whereas vegetation roots reinforce the soil via the formation of root-particle interactions that reduce particle detachment. In this study, two vegetation-testing trials were conducted. The first trial was held on cool-season turfgrasses seeded in a biopolymer-treated site soil in an open greenhouse. At the end of the test, the most suitable grass type was suggested for the second vegetation test, which was conducted in an environmental control chamber. In the second test, biopolymers, namely, starch and xanthan gum hydrogels (pure starch, pure xanthan gum, and xanthan gum-starch mixtures), were tested as soil conditioners for improving the water-holding capacity and vegetation growth in sandy soils. The results support the possibility that biopolymer treatments may enhance the survival rate of vegetation under severe drought environments, which could be applicable for soil stabilization in arid and semiarid regions.

본 연구는 제주지역의 골프 코스에서 하절기 고온기간에 온도의 상승을 비롯한 다양한 환경변화로 인하여 생육 장애가 심한 한지형 잔디인 perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) 3종에 대하여 엽록소형광과 엽록소지수를 측정하여 골프 코스와 스포츠 필드에서 잔디 선정과 관리를 위한 기본적인 정보를 얻기 위하여 수행하였다. F_o 값은 3종 모두 하절기 초기에는 낮고 후기에 다소 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 그러나, perennial ryegrass의 경우는 하절기 초기와 후기 간의 F_o 값의 변화가 컸으며, 특히, 후기에 F_o 값은 다른 2종 월등하게 보다 높았다. F_m 값은 3종 모두 하절기 초기에는 낮고 하절기 후기에 증가하였으나 3종 간의 차이는 크지 않았다. 광계 II의 광화학적 효율의 척도인 F_v/F_m 값은 3종 모두에서 하절기 초기에 낮고, 후기에 다소 증가하는 양상을 보였으나, 하절기 후기에 Kentucky bluegrass와 creeping bentgrass는 perennial ryegrass에 비해 F_v/F_m 값이 다소 높아 하절기 고온에서도 보다 더 잘 적응하는 것으로 보인다. 엽록소지수는 perennial ryegrass와 Kentucky bluegrass에서는 뚜렷하게 하절기 초기에는 낮고 후기에 높은 양상을 보였으나, creeping bentgrass는 조사기간 내내 낮은 상태를 유지하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 Kentucky bluegrass가 하절기 후기의 고온이나 빈번한 강우에 의한 습한 조건에 가장 강하고, perennial ryegrass가 가장 취약한 것으로 사료된다.

국내에서 사용하고 있는 대표적 한지형 잔디인 켄터키블루그라스, 퍼레니얼라이그라스 및 톨훼스큐의 발아실험 결과 초종, 품종 및 생육환경에 따라 발아특성 차이가 나타났는데 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 생육환경 차이에 따라 발아세, 발아속도 및 발아율 차이가 크게 나타나기 때문에 초종간 발아 특성을 파악해서 활용하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 품종별 발아 경향 차이도 크기 때문에 동일 초종 안에서도 조성목적에 따라 품종별 발아특성을 고려한 선택이 절대적으로 필요하다. 2. 한지형 잔디의 초기 발아세 및 최종 발아율경향이 초종 및 품종에 따라 다르고, 또한 실무적으로 대면적을 적기에 파종하는 것은 쉽지가 않다. 하지만, 품종별 발아세 및 발아속도 특성은 중요하기 때문에 종자 파종량 결정시 초기 발아세 및 최종 발아율 결과를 동시에 검토해서 결정하는 것이 바람직하다. 3. 초종별 발아속도는 퍼레니얼라이그라스가 7∼10일로 가장 빨랐고, 켄터키블루그라스가 14 ∼21일로 가장 느렸다. 톨훼스큐는 켄터키블루그라스와 퍼레니얼라이그라스의 중간인 10∼14일 정도로 나타났다. 따라서, 조성 후 잔디품질 및 환경적응력보다도 파종후 급속 피복이 우선적으로 요구되는 곳에는 퍼레니얼라이그라스가 가장 적합하였다. 4. 실온, 변온 및 항온에 따라 퍼레니얼라이그라스 및 톨훼스큐 잔디는 초기 발아 경향 차이는 있었지만, 최종 발아율은 거의 비슷하였다. 이에 비해 켄터키블루그라스는 초기 발아 경향뿐만 아니라 최종 발아율도 차이가 크게 나타났다. 또한 켄터키블루그라스 품종간 차이도 커서 변온조건에서 최종 발아율이 91.7%였던 Midnight 품종은 실온 조건에서는 71.0%로 20% 정도, 그리고 항온 조건에서는 15.3%로 75% 정도 발아율이 감소하였다. 5. 따라서, 켄터키블루그라스로 잔디밭 조성시 조성 지역 및 파종 시점의 생육환경 분석 및 품종별 발아특성을 고려해서 전문가에 의한 초종선정과 파종량 결정을 하는 것이 양질의 잔디품질을 위해 절대적으로 필요하다. 6. 한지형 잔디 모두 발아환경에 따라 초기 발아속도, 발아경향 및 발아율 차이가 상당히 다르기 때문에 파종량 결정 시 ISTA규정의 표준 발아 실험에서 수행한 발아율 결과를 이용하는 것이 적절하다. 7. ISTA규정의 표준발아실험을 하기 어려운 경우에 저관리용으로 많이 쓰이는 퍼레니얼라이그라스 또는 톨훼스큐는 봄과 가을에 실온의 환경이 10∼$25^{\circ}C$ 사이의 자연적인 변온이 가능하다면 실온에서의 발아검정 결과를 간접적으로 활용할 수 있다. 8. 하지만, 고품질의 골프장 또는 경기장에 많이 쓰이고 있는 켄터키블루그라스는 생육환경에 따라 발아세 및 발아율 차이가 크기 때문에 변온조건의 생육상에서 4주간 발아검정이 반드시 필요하다. 9. 한지형 잔디의 발아율 검정 기간은 ISTA 규정에서 퍼레니얼라이그라스 및 톨훼스큐는 2주, 그리고 켄터키블루그라스는 4주이지만, 시공상 충분한 시험기간이 어려운 경우 퍼레니얼라이그라스는 10일, 톨훼스큐는 2주, 그리고 켄터키블루그라스는 3주 정도면 해당 종자의 90%전후 수준의 발아력 검정이 가능하다고 판단되었다. 10. 골프장이나 경기장 등 대면적의 잔디밭 조성시 선행 공정, 시공 상황 및 기후 등의 변수로 인해 대부분의 경우 적기 파종이 어려운 상황이다. 따라서, 장기적으로 켄터키블루그라스, 퍼레니얼라이그라스 및 톨훼스큐 초종별 여러가지 품종을 1일 간격으로 ISTA 규정의 변온조건 및 계절별 실온조건에서 발아세, 발아속도, 발아경향 및 발아율 등 발아검정 특성 시험을 하는 것이 필요하다. 그리고 이러한 검정시험을 통해 파악된 초종 및 품종별 발아특성과 함께 조성지의 발아온도를 올릴 수 있는 비닐피복 등의 방법을 실무현장에 활용 시 양질의 잔디 조성이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Mowing turfgrasses, especially fast growing species like perennial ryegrass, is one of the most time and money consuming tasks of their management. Trinexapac-ethyl (TE) is a popular plant growth regulator used to reduce mowing requirements, improve stress tolerance, and enhance turf quality. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of TE rate and frequency of applications on growth response and traffic tolerance of perennial ryegrass. The experiment was a split-plot laid out in a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications. TE was applied to main plots at 0.00, 0.25, and $0.50kg\;a.i.\;ha^{-1}$. Application pattern included an initial application, followed by two sequential applications at 6-wk intervals. Traffic treatment was applied to subplots with a cleated roller. Results demonstrated that TE consistently reduced vertical shoot growth, clippings dry weight, with maximum growth reduction of 59% and 65%, for 0.25 and $0.50kg\;a.i.\;ha^{-1}$, respectively, occurring at 2 weeks after initial TE treatment (WAT). Traffic also dramatically reduced vertical shoot growth and clippings dry weight. Overall, quality of perennial ryegrass was enhanced by sequential TE applications, however, turf quality and surface coverage reduced greatly under traffic, regardless of TE treatment. Total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b and total carbohydrates (TC) contents were also positively influenced following sequential TE application. Our results indicated that TE reduces mowing frequency and enhances turf quality rather than influencing traffic resistance.

Seashore Paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Swartz) is a warm season grass and indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of coastal areas worldwide. The species is used as feed for cattle and horses and has been very successful for golf courses worldwide. One of the most outstanding characteristics of seashore paspalum is its tolerance to saline soils compared to other warm season turfgrasses. The development of new seashore paspalum cultivars with improved traits could be facilitated through the application of biotechnological strategies. The purpose of this study was to product for herbicide resistant seashore paspalum using Arobacterium-mediated transformation and this study is the first report on transformation and herbicideresistant transgenic plants in seashore paspalum. Embryogenic calli were induced from the seeded variety of pseashore paspalum. Embryogenic calli were transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 carrying the binary vector pCAMBIA3301 with two genes encoding gusA and bar. Transformed calli and plants were selected on medium containing 3 mg/l PPT. PCR detected the presence of the gusA and bar gene, indicating both genes are integrated into the genome of seashore paspalum. A chlorophenol red assay was used to confirm that the bar gene was expressed. By application of herbicide BASTA, the herbicide resistance in the transgenic seashore paspalum plants was confirmed.
