“…However, our study results best describe establishment from stolons and potential recovery from stolons since rhizome growth was not measured. Therefore, the recovery of cultivars that produce more rhizomes than stolons, such as Diamond (Engelke et al, 2002a), may be underestimated by our study.…”

“…For instance, Meyer and Diamond partition more dry matter into leaf area than stems, which is likely why they establish and spread slowly in the field. However, Diamond is reported to have vigorous rhizomatous growth (Engelke et al, 2002a). Future work should examine differences in dry matter partitioning between rhizomes and stolons of genotypes with varying establishment rates.…”

Stolon Growth and Dry Matter Partitioning Explain Differences in Zoysiagrass Establishment Rates

A barrier to widespread zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) use is its slow establishment rate. Our objectives were to quantify differences in establishment rate of zoysiagrass cultivars and genotypes as well as determine the underlying factors associated with differential growth rates. Thirty‐five genotypes of zoysiagrass were transplanted into field plots in June 2004 and 2005. Establishment rate and stolon growth of zoysiagrass genotypes were measured in the field and then four cultivars with contrasting establishment rate were used for further growth analysis in a growth chamber. Mean establishment rate [loge (coverage) d−1] and coverage (cm2) 91 d after planting (DAP) in the field were faster for Z. japonica than Z. matrella genotypes. The Z. japonica Genotype 6186 had the greatest coverage 91 DAP. ‘El Toro’, ‘Chinese Common’, and ‘Palisades’ were among the Z. japonica genotypes that produced more coverage 91 DAP than the mean (1943 cm2), while ‘Meyer’ produced less coverage than the mean. ‘Zorro’ was among the fastest establishing Z. matrella genotypes, and ‘Diamond’ was the slowest. Growth analysis indicated El Toro and Zorro, which establish faster than Meyer and Diamond, partition more dry matter to stolons and rhizomes than leaves. This is consistent with field data where El Toro and Zorro have greater total stolon length than Meyer and Diamond. Zoysiagrass genotypes that partition more dry matter to stems instead of leaves establish the quickest.

Land and water resources are becoming scarce and are insufficient to sustain the burgeoning population. Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses affecting agricultural productions across the world. Cultivation of salt-tolerant turfgrass species may be promising option under such conditions where poor quality water can also be used for these crops. Coastal lands in developing countries can be used to grow such crops, and seawater can be used for irrigation of purposes. These plants can be grown using land and water unsuitable for conventional crops and can provide food, fuel, fodder, fibber, resin, essential oils, and pharmaceutical products and can be used for landscape reintegration. There are a number of potential turfgrass species that may be appropriate at various salinity levels of seawater. The goal of this review is to create greater awareness of salt-tolerant turfgrasses, their current and potential uses, and their potential use in developing countries. The future for irrigating turf may rely on the use of moderate- to high-salinity water and, in order to ensure that the turf system is sustainable, will rely on the use of salt-tolerant grasses and an improved knowledge of the effects of salinity on turfgrasses.

“…The zoysiagrass cultivar ' Diamond' [Z. matrella (L.) Merr. ], one of the finest-textured (leaf blade width <2.0 mm) zoysiagrasses at the time of its release (Engelke et al, 2002), has been used on fairways, tees, and putting greens in the southern and southeastern United States. Despite having low fertility requirements (Briscoe et al, 2012;Patton & Trappe, 2010), tolerance to shade (Qian et al, 2000), and salinity stress (Qian & Engelke, 1999), the combination of a relatively slow ball roll (Patton, Schwartz, & Kenworthy, 2017), sensitivity to winterkill (Richardson et al, 2012), high seedhead production (McCullough et al, 2017), and soil organic matter production (Kauffman et al, 2013) has posed challenges in its widespread use on putting greens.…”

‘DALZ 1308’ (Reg. no. CV‐285, PI 691612) is a first‐generation interspecific hybrid developed in 2004 by crossing a genotype of Zoysia minima (Colenso) Zotov and Z. matrella (L.) Merr. ‘Diamond.’ After field evaluations in Dallas, TX (2004–2009) and Gainesville, FL (2006–2008), DALZ 1308 was selected for advancement to the 2013 Warm‐season Putting Greens National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). DALZ 1308 was evaluated at 10 NTEP locations (2013–2018) as well as in Dallas, TX (2014–2017) and Gainesville, FL (2013–2017). DALZ 1308 exhibited a diminutive growth habit with narrower and shorter leaf blades and dwarf canopy height as compared to Diamond and L1F; shorter internode length, smaller node, and smaller internode diameter as compared to L1F; superior ball roll as compared to Diamond and L1F in Arizona, Kentucky, and Texas; resistance to tawny mole crickets; and reduced seedhead incidence and density during the growing season. As compared to Diamond and L1F, DALZ 1308 has shown to have reduced winter injury with fabric cover in Bloomington, IN. Although characteristics varied by location, DALZ 1308 exhibits good turfgrass quality, high shoot density, medium‐green genetic color, and extended fall and winter color retention. Initial greenhouse experimentation under moderate shade shows that DALZ 1308 has a greater percent green cover as compared to ‘Palisades’, Diamond, and ‘Zorro’. Overall, DALZ 1308 is an ultradwarf zoysiagrass suitable for golf course putting greens in a wide range of environments across the United States.
