| Abstract/Contents: | "Marking the ninth year of this USGA sponsored research project over $440,000 has been directed to this project. First year results of the NTEP zoysiagrass trials include nine TAES/USGA entries. DALZ8507, a fine-textured, cold hardy Zoysia matrella, topped the trials, with DALZ8512 and DALZ8514, in the top 25%. Breeder fields of DALZ8502, DALZ8507, DALZ8512 and DALZ8514 (15,000 ft2 (0.139 ha) each ) were planted in July 1992. All four fields were fully established by midsummer 1993. These fields will serve as: 1) planting stock for foundation production, once approved for release, and 2) source material for more extensive field evaluation studies. The DALZ8502 greens at TAES-Dallas continue to perform well. One is on sand and the other is in clay soil. Overseeding in 1992 on part of the sand green and tee box revealed severe damage to the zoysia and will not be recommended in the future. Under agreement with Colonial Country Club, we have established a 4500-ft2 (0.04 ha) chipping green and a 1500-ft2 (0.01 ha) shaded tee box to continue a field evaluation of DALZ8502. Rapid regrowth in the area harvested for the sod used in these green and tee box marks the extensive rhizome system of this fine-textured Z. matrella variety. The Linear Gradient Irrigation System (LGIS) has been reestablished with 12 Zoysia experiments, 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. Each experimental unit will be mowed at its 'optimum' height. Release documents are being prepared for DALZ8507, DALZ8512, and DALZ8514." |
