The Review on The Technology of Zoysiagrass Turf Establishment by Seed

Abstract

Abstract: Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud) is an important native grass in China, and is characterized by the only turfgrass species which commercial seed supplied domestically. In China, seed dormancy breaking treatment is widely used in zoysiagrass seed production, and zoysiagrass turf establishment by seed is a promising method. Based on biological characteristics of zoysiagrass, the authors review several factors about seed establishment of zoysiagrass turf, including seeding time, seeding rate, methods of breaking seed dormancy, and seedling maintenance management et al. The object of this paper is showed as following (1) to summary the important factors for zoysiagrass turf establishment method by seed (2) to promote using zoysiagrass in city lawn and sport turf construction (3) to be a reference for related technicians.
