Zoysiagrass has been used in Korea as a native grass. Informations on distributions, classifications, breeding efforts and outputs, current production and uses of zoysiagrasses in Korea are summarized. During past a few decades, collection of naturally growing zoysiagrass ecotypes has been continued, followed by evaluation, selection and cross-pollination. Classification efforts using important morphological, biochemical traits and DNA polymorphisms resulted in the several suggestions of grouping zoysiagrass species and varieties. Zoysia japonica consistently form separate group, while Zoysia sinica and Zoysia macrostackya have been separately or inter-mixed. Z. matrella with some variations frequently grouped separately but with some similarity with Z. tenuifolia, which was recently renamed as Z. pacifica. Hybrid types of zoysiagrasses were frequently found in Korea. New varieties such as 'Kunhee' and 'Green Ever' etc. were bred by ecotype selections, while 'Senock', 'Semil', 'Millock' were bred through pollination. Molecular approaches were also used to introduce beneficial genes into zoysiagrasses with no practical outputs by legal regulations. Currently popular varieties are inter-specific hybrid types such as 'Anyang' and other local zoysiagrasses as well as common zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica) Production area in Korea was estimated as 2,947 ha with increasing problems of mixed or contaminated species and varieties.

The investigation was cycle of aluminum of surface soil elements in dynamic grassland ecosystems at a steady state in a Zoysia japonica and a Miscanthus sinensis ecosystem in Mt. Kwanak, Korea. Average amounts of total storage for aluminum in Z japonica and M. sinensis grasslands were 8,426mg /$m^2$ and 7,849mg /$m^2$ respectively. Decay constants estimated on the base of experimental and mathematical model, were 0.04 in Z japonica grassland, and 0.08 in M. sinensis grassland. Half time to decay aluminum of litter soils were 17.33 years in Z japonica grass-land, and 8.66 years in Al. sinensis grassland. 95% decay times in Z japonica, and in M. sinensis grassland were 75.0 years and 35.0 years respectively. Needed times to lose almost all of elements in Z japonica and M. sinensis grassland were 125.0 years, and 62.50 years respectively. The metals were losed more rapidly in M. sinensis than in Z japonica grassland. The cycle of aluminum was investigated to be related with soil acidity. Key words: Cycle of aluminum, Zoysia japonica. Miscanthus sinensis, Mt. Kwanak, Decay constants, Soil acidity.

This study was carried out to investigate the biological activities of grass clippings from turfgrass including Zoysia japonica (TG-1), Zoysia matella (TG-2), Agrostis palustris (TG-3), and Poa pratensis (TG-4). The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity was relatively higher in TG-1 and -2. Especially, TG-1 exerted the strongest hydroxyl radical scavenging effect, showing 90.40% at the concentration of 100 μg/ml. In addition, TG-1 inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Helicobactor pylori. TG-1 also showed the highest inhibitory effect of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cell growth and nitric oxide production against lipopolysaccharide in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. In conclusion, among the TG extracts, TG-1 has anti-oxidative, anti-microbial, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effect, indicating that TG-1 may be the potential source of functional food.

화본과(Gramineae family)의 Zoysia속(Zoysia genus)에 속하는 한국잔디류는 동북아시아와 필리핀, 태국을 비롯한 동남아시아의 열대지역부터 온대지역에 걸쳐 비교적 폭넓게 분포하는 대표적인 잔디종의 하나이다. 세계적으로 방대한 잔디분야의 'The Turfgrass Information Center'의 database에 zoysia와 연관된 정보는 전문학술지 논문 638편과 학위논문 및 전문보고서 1,307편을 포함하여 총 5,340건으로 조사 되었다. Zoysiagrass에 관한 연구는 골프코스와 lawn care 관련산업에서의 이용과 그에 따르는 잡초, 병충해 등 방제에 따르는 농약에 관한 연구와 종자에 관한 database가 주를 이루고 있다. 본 연구는 한국잔디류에 대한 세계적 연구 추세와 지금까지 우리나라에서 연구된 한국잔디에 관한 연구내용을 정리 분석 하였다. 통계적으로 우리나라의 주요 학술지에 발표된 한국잔디에 관한 논문은 274편이었는데, 식물학적 연구가 102편이며 환경학적 연구와 재배학적 연구가 각 38편과 134편이었다. 그러나 우리나라 연구자의 외국 전문지 게재논문을 합하면 이보다 많으리라 사료된다. 외국에 비해 골프코스 잔디 관리분야와 plant protectant, 신품종 육종에 관한 연구가 활성화 되고, 환경 및 병 저항성 등 육종연구의 선도적 역할도 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to find out the difference of Zoysia matrella's evaporation in between 100 percent soil and mixed soil with 50 percent of perlite to create green spaces on the artificial ground. It is believed that the weight against the artificial ground will be reduced, provided the vegetation is possible in the circumstance of the mixed sol with 50 percent of perlite. The study employed a modified Makkink's model by Iwasa who had developed the model for estimating Zoysia matrella's evaporation in the natural ground using the Makkink's formula in 1997 at Chiba University, Japan. The parameter of Makkink's formula is the solar radiation. For that reason, the Makkink's formula is simple and easy to measure the parameter and has a high utility. If the outcomes from mixed soil are close to modified Makkinks formula, the modified Makkink's formula will be applied to estimate in the artificial ground with mixed soil with 50 percent of perlite. Weather observation and actual amount of evaporation of Zoysia matrella have been measured, and the relation between weather condition and actual amount of evaporation had been also investigated. In line with this, we found out that there is a relevant relationship between daily average temperature, the modified Makkink's model by Iwasa, and the actual amount of evaporation. As the results of the experiment, the outcomes from mixed soil with 50 percent of perlite have very high relation to 100 percent soil. In addition, mixed soil has more adhesion with water than natural soil. However, it needs to be adequately maintained in terms of fertilization and damage from disease and harmful insects until the gras fastens its roots into the soil. By using mixed soil with 50 percent of perlite, the load from soil on the artificial ground can be reduced. The study on the growth of the grass throughout the plant vegetation and the actual amount of evaporation in the mixed soil with 50 percent of perlite should be performed in the future.

Ruminal degradation characteristics of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and crude protein (CP) in fresh leaves of two Japanese native grasses (Zoysia japonica and Miscanthus sinensis) and one sown temperate grass (Dactylis glomerata) were investigated by an in sacco method in spring (mid-May), summer (mid-July) and autumn (mid-September). Japanese native grasses had higher NDF and lower CP concentrations than D. glomerata, and the CP concentration in native grasses decreased in autumn. Ruminal degradability of DM, NDF and CP was lower in native grasses than in D. glomerata (p<0.05) in all seasons. DM and NDF degradability decreased in summer for Z. japonica and D. glomerata, while it decreased in autumn for M. sinensis. CP degradability in Z. japonica was constant throughout the seasons, whereas that in M. sinensis greatly decreased in summer and autumn (p<0.05). It was concluded that Z. japonica could stably supply ruminally digestible nutrients for grazing animals in Japanese native pasture. However, the degradation characteristics of freshly chopped native grasses did not fit the exponential model of $D=a+b(1-e^{-ct})$ proposed by Ørskov and McDonald.

In order to promote the germination of Korean lawn grass(Zoysia japonica Steud.) seeds a gravimetric seed selection with a mixed chemical solution and the germination promotion with KOH treatment were studied and following results were obtained. 1. When immersed into methanol(S.G., 0.7) 14 percent of immature seeds were precipitated. 2. With water (S.G., 1.0) 36.5 percent of mature seeds were submerged. 3. On a mixture of carbon tetrachloride (S.G., 1.6) and ethylether (S.G., 0.7) in a ratio of 4:6 the seed selection was most effective. 4. When treated with KOH solution the germination rate was 71.01 percent in contrast to 6.0 percent of germination without the treatment. 5. As for concentration of KQH solution, 15 percent depressed the germination (46.7 %) whereas above 20 % the germination rate was gradually increased (79.32 %) up to 40 percent of concentration where the concentration started to depress germination ratio (77.32 %). 6. Finally, in connection with the duration of KOH treatment, a time lapse of up to 20 minutes depressed the germinating ratio(70.02 %) and 30 minutes to 45 minutes increased this ratio to 94.52 percent. 60 minutes of treatment depressed the germination to 75.62 percent.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the nitrogen fertilization levels on the content of $NH_4^+$-N in soil of 'Suffolk' Kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1.According to the nitrogen fertilization levels, the content of $NH_4^+$-N in soil of Kentucky blue-grass and zoysiagrass was not significantly different. The content of $NH_4^+$-N in soil of Kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass was highest in June and December and lowest in March and September. 2.The content of $NH_3^-$-N in soil was increased by increasing the nitrogen fertilization levels in both Kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass. However, the deeper the depth of soil the less the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil. In 40~60cm soil depth, the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil was lower than 10ppm in average. Even in June, which was the highest month of the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil, the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil was not overpassed the degree of 20ppm.
