| Abstract/Contents: | "Marking the 10th year of this USGA sponsored research project over $500,000 has been directed to this project. Germplasm aquisition and maintenance continue. TAES-Dallas is serving as a remote quarantine site for plant materials introduced in to the Zoysiagrass program from other countries, primarily China and Japan. Plant materials are encouraged to produce self and cross pollinated seeds to expedite the removal from quarantine. Seeds are not subjected to as severe testing period or procedures as vegetative material. The NTEP zoysiagrass trials established in 1991 include nine TAES/USGA entries. DALZ8507, a fine-textured, cold hardy Zoysia matrella, topped the trials, in both 1992 and 1993. Other varieties of note include DALZ8512 and DALZ8514, each doing well in both years, also DALZ9006 and DALZ8508. Breeder fields of DALZ8502, DALZ8507, DALZ8512 and DALZ8514 (15,000 ft2 (0.139 ha) each) were planted in July 1992. Considerable planting stock of each of these varieties have been harvested and entered into advanced testing at remote locations including; Baltimore Country Club-Maryland, Wilmingotn CC-Delaware, Marion CC-Maryland, and Congressional CC - Washington DC, Alvarmar CC, Kansas, Topeka CC-Kansas, Northwood CC-Kansas, Buffalocreek GC-Texas, Northwood Hill-Texas, Preston Trails-Texas. Foundation fields of DALZ8507, DALZ8512 and DALZ8514 were established vegetatively in June 1994. Planting stock will be harvestable by spring 1995 to coincide with anticipated release of the varieties for commercial production The DALZ8502 greens at TAES-Dallas continue to perform well. The chipping green established with Colonial Country Club, is reported to be doing quite well including the shaded tee bow where continued field evaluation supports the use of this grass under low light condition. Rapid regrowth of DALZ8502 occurs due to its extensive rhizome system. The Linear Gradient Irrigation System (LGIS) has been reestablished with 12 Zoysia experimentals, three bermudagrasses, a buffalograss, a St. Augustinegrass, and a Texas bluegrass to provide extensive inter- and intraspecies water-use/cultural input comparisons. Of targeted interest is the influence of fertility levels across the moisture gradient on turfgrass performance." |
