“…There has been a great deal of research on zoysiagrass since 1990. Various environmental stresses including cold temperature (18,32,38) and drought tolerance (4,9,27,60), divot recovery (26,55), salinity tolerance (30,41), shade tolerance (49,53,56), and various biotic stresses including insect resistance (5,6,11,12,25,42,43,44,45,46,48,52), mite resistance (47), disease resistance (31), and nematode resistance (35,51) has been studied for many commonly used zoysiagrass cultivars. Zoysiagrass growth characteristics have also been studied including rooting (29), stolon growth (40), establishment (10,21,40), and clipping yield (57).…”
