Abstract
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.

Performance of Kansas State University’s Coldand Large Patch-Tolerant Zoysiagrasses in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Test
Three experimental genotypes developed at K-State have outperformed ‘Meyer’ in establishment rate, turf quality, drought tolerance, and fall color
Several new zoysiagrasses are under evaluation for adaptation across the US
Summary
The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) Zoysia Test was planted in 2019 at the Kansas State University Olathe Horticulture Center, Olathe, KS. 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. Several new zoysiagrasses are under evaluation for adaptation across the US. In this experiment, we’re interested in looking at genotypes that were identified and developed through K-State; Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Dallas, TX; and Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN: ‘DALZ 1701’, ‘DALZ 1707’, and ‘DALZ 1808’. In research conducted prior to the NTEP evaluation, these genotypes performed better than the standard, Meyer, and showed tolerance to the disease large patch
