Performance Of Kansas State University’S Cold And Large Patch-Tolerant Zoysiagrasses In The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Test, Jack Fry, Manoj Chhetri
Performance Of Kansas State University’S Cold And Large Patch-Tolerant Zoysiagrasses In The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Test, Jack Fry, Manoj Chhetri
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) Zoysia Test was planted in 2019 at the Kansas State University Olathe Horticulture Center, Olathe, KS. Since planting, three experimental genotypes developed at K-State (with cooperators noted below) have outperformed ‘Meyer’ in establishment rate, turf quality, drought tolerance, and fall color. Earlier research has demonstrated large patch tolerance in all three experimental genotypes.

Selection Of New Zoysiagrass Genotypes For Golf Course Fairways, Greens, And Tees In The Upper Transition Zone, Manoj Chhetri, Jack Fry, Megan Kennelly
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A set of 70 experimental zoysiagrass genotypes along with three standards, ‘Meyer,' ‘Innovation,' and ‘KSUZ 1201,' were evaluated for turf performance in the northern transition zone. The genotypes were previously selected from a set of 935 progeny that resulted from pairwise crossings of cold-hardy zoysiagrass parents with fine-textured, under-utilized zoysiagrasses. All 70 progeny survived the winter of 2019–2020 and thus were evaluated based on their turf performance. The preference of selection was based first upon spring green up ratings, followed by leaf texture (finer preferred), vigor, turf quality, and wilt during dry down. A total of 20 best progeny were …
