Abstract

'Meyer' zoysiagrass(Zoysia japonica Steud.) is a popular turfgrass species used for transition zone golf course fairways and tees in mfd U.S.A golf courses because it is generally winter hardy while providing an excellent playing surface with minimal chemical and irrigation inputs. However, its functionality declines easily in many of the shaded areas of these courses. Reduced irradiance causes excessive shoot elongation, reduced tillering, and weak plants that are poorly suited to tolerate or recover from traffic and devoting. Trinexapac-ethyl (TE) effectively reduces gibberellic acid (GA) biosynthesis and subsequent shoot cell elongation. This study was initiated to evaluate TE effect on shoot elongation and stand persistence under two levels of shade in 'Meyer' zoysiagrass. A mature stand of 'Meyer' was treated with all combinations of three levels of shade(0%, 79%, and 92%) and three levels of monthly TE [0, 48 $g{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ a.i(0.5x) and 96 $g{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ a.i(1x)]. In full sun, the TE at 48 $g{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ a.i reduced clipping yield by 18% over a four-week period and, whereas the TE at 96 $g{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ a.i by 30% to 38%. Monthly application of TE at the 96 $g{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ a.i increased 'Meyer' tiller density in full sun and under 79% shade. Both rates of TE consistently reduced shoot growth under shade relative to the shaded control. Only the monthly applications of the TE at 96 $g{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ a.i consistently delayed loss of quality under 79% shade. Our results indicate TE can be an effective management practice to increase 'Meyer' zoysiagrass persistence in shaded environments.

'Meyer' zoysiagrass(Zoysia iaponica Steud.)는 일반적으로 미국 중부지역에서 골프장 페어 웨이 또는 티에 일반적으로 많이 쓰이는 잔디로 적은 시비와 관수와 함께 좋은 플래이를 제공한다. 하지만 그늘 지역에서의 생육이 저하되어 품질을 떨어뜨린다. 감소되어진 광량은 잔디 잎의 웃자람을 일으키며 밀도가 저하되고 약한 잔디 생육과 함께 답압이나 디보트에 따른 재생을 저하시킨다. 이 실험의 목적은 TE의 처리가 그늘 지역에서의 잔디의 웃자람을 억제하고 품질을 향상 시키는가를 알아보기 위함에 있다. 이 실험에서 두 가지 처리는 차광 조건(0%, 79%, 92% 차광막) 과 TE [0, 48(0.5x), $96g{\cdot}ha^{-1}\;a.i(1x)$]로 적용하였다. 무 차광 처리 시, 0.5x-비율로 TE처리에서 4 주후 무 처리구에 비해 18%의 잔디 예초물의 감소를 보였고 1x-비율의 TE 처리는 $30{\sim}38%$의 예초물 감소를 보였다. 매달 1x-비율의 TE 처리 시 무 차광 처리와 79% 차광에서 zosiagrass의 밀도를 증가 시켰다. 무 처리에 비해 두 TE 비율의 처리가 잔디의 웃자람을 감소시켰으며 1x-비율로 TE 처리 시 79% 차광에서 잔디 품질이 저하되는 것이 지연되었다. 이 실험에서 그늘진 지역에서의 TE 처리가 zoysiagrass 의 웃자람을 줄이고 잔디 품질을 향상 시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
