  • This study examined the improved effect of wear tolerance of warm-season turfgrass overseeded with cool-season turfgrasses. Also, it investigated the improved effect of crumb rubber on wear tolerance and the difference anmong cultivars regarding the wear of Zoysia spp. In wear experiment during summer, the warm-season turfgrass overseed with cool-season turfgrasses had a higher visual rating on the ground than the monostand of Cynodon dactylon. Moreover, in wear experiment in winter, barrenness showed significant progress in the monostand of C. dactylon, while the barrenness did not appear at all in overseeded turf with cool-season turfgrasses. As a result of investigating the bulk density was increased in the monostand of C. dactylon, but not in the overseed turf with cool-season turfgrasses. From the above result, the wear tolerance effcect of turfgrasses appeared year round through warm-season and cool-season turfgrass mixtures. Also, it was found that the method of topdressing crumb rubber on the ground was effective as a physical assistant device alleviating damage of turfgrasses. The possibility of improving wear tolerance was accepted by adding soil amendments such as perlite, pamis, etc., in order to promote the growth of turfgrass.

Effect of Herbicide 'Kerb' on Growth of Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. 'Accent') and Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonca 'Zenith') under Shading Treatments (차광조절하에서 제초제 Kerb가 퍼레니얼 라이그래스와 한국잔디의 생육에 미치는 영향)

  • In order to investigate an artificially transition method of perennial ryegrass(Lolium perenne L. 'Accent') overseeded on zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonca Zenith') with Kerb (3,5-jichloro-N (1,1-dimethyl-2-propynyl). We observed turfgrass growth and physiological responses of the two turfgrasses under the shading treatments. The experiment was conducted in greenhouse during April- August. Shading was generally using a black shade net product whose the shade level was done into 0, 35 and 75%, actual light intensities were 589, 378 and $135\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s$ PAR, respectively. The four levels of Kerb treatment were 0, 0.1 0.2, and $0.4\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}$. As shading was getting increased, growth of perennial ryegrass was increased slowly, but zoysiagrass was reduced and almost all of experiments showed significant differences statistically. Perennial ryegrass exhibited inclination that growth was reduced in more than Kerb $0.4\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}$ by shades. On the other hand, it was shown that the growth of zoysigrass was reduced by shades largely and it was not effected by Kerb. Through this study, it was determined that Kerb is effective for elimination of overseeded perennial ryegrass on zoysiagrass. Moreover, when excluding perennial ryegrass under the condition like shade, it is desirable for treating high concentration more than the basic processing amount.

  • Managing a mixture of zoysiagrass with tall fescue has been proposed in transitional zone as a practical practice to combine the advantages of the two species and compensate the limitations. To manage the mixture is a challenge because two species are involved. The objective of this study was to determine if zoysiagrass/tall fescue mixture can be maintained with proper mowing and fertilization under simulated sport traffic at an acceptable quality level. Zoysiagrass was seeded in June and tall fescue was overseeded in August 1996. In November 1996, zoysiagrass coverage was 62.36, 29.88, and 30.02% for 0, 50, and $100\;Kg\;ha^{-l}\;N$ rates, respectively. At the same time, zoysiagrass coverage was 23.53, 41.95, and 57.40% for the mowing heights of 6.5, 5.0, and 3.5 cm, respectively. Zoysiagrass and tall fescue coverage in July 1997 was showing the same trend as in the late season of 1996 although the differences were not as big. There were significant interactions between N fertilization rates and mowing heights. In November 1998, the zoysiagrass coverage was different among the two tall fescue variety mixtures, 21.68, and 32.25% in 'Arid' and 'Grasslands Garland', respectively. Zoysiagrass coverage was favored in lower mowing height, lower N rates, and lower traffic. Interaction effects on zoysiagrass were found between tall fescue variety and nitrogen rate, tall fescue variety and mowing height, and traffic and nitrogen rate. Zoysiagrass shoot density was 7.42, 25.47, and 58.95% for mowing heights of 6.5, 5, and 3.5 cm, respectively; and it was 47.27, 20.27, and 26.26% for N rates of 0, 50, and $100\;Kg\;ha^{-l}\;$, respectively in 1998. The effects on zoysiagrass shoot density from the interaction of N rate and tall fescue variety was significant in 1998. Shoot density responded to the N rate, mowing height, and traffic differently from the ground coverage, indicating that shoot and leaf growth have different adaptation strategies.
