This experiment was carried out in order to study effect of organic fertilizer on the growth of Korean lawngrass(Zoysia matrella L. Merr.) and the change of soil chemical characteristics. Results obtained are summarized as follows: l. Organic fertilizer was appropriate for base-dressing in the establishment of turfgrass by means of sod. 2. Chlorophyll contents in mixed application plot of complex organic fertilizer were more abundant than that in single application plot of organic fertilizer. 3. The yield of dry weight in single application plot of organic fertilizer was greater about 40% than that in control plot. 4. As a whole, the growth of Korean lawngrass in mixed application plot of complex and organic fertilizer was more greater than that in single application plot of complex fertilizer. 5. Application of organic fertilizer promote effectiveness of available phosphorous in soil.
