NTEP, USGA in Turf News Calls Zeon the Standard


In the most recent issue of Turf News, the results from trials of 35 bermudagrass and 35 zoysiagrass established in 2013 have been reported. In conjunction with the United States Golf Association (USGA), a unique trial of 15 bermudagrasses, 11 zoysiagrasses and two seashore paspalum grasses were evaluated as well.

Setting the standard for zoysiagrass were Zeon and Meyer.

“Zeon is a standard for use on golf course fairways and tees because it can develop a dense turf at mowing heights of 0.5” or lower. Both grasses are included in the new trial as standard entries,” as reported in the July/August 2017 issue of Turf News.

Among the many experimental grasses in these categories, Zeon performed well and held its own at Fayetteville, AR as well as other locations.
