국문 초록 (Abstract)

톨 페스큐와 한국들잔디의 혼합 조성은 미국의 전이지역에서 두 종간의 장점을 취하고 각종의 단점을 보완하는 실질적 관리기술로 제안되어 왔다. 이러한 두 종간의 초종 혼합은 관리 상 어려움이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국들잔디와 톨 페스큐의 혼합이 운동장 답압 하에서 예초와 시비에 의해 적절한 수준의 잔디 관리가 가능한지 실험하였다. 한국들잔디는 1996년 6월에 파종하였고 동년 8월에 톨 페스큐를 덧파종하였다. 1996년 11월에 한국들잔디의 피복율은 질소시비수준 0, 50, 100㎏/㏊에서 62.36, 29.88, 30.02%를 나타내었다. 예고 6.5, 5, 3.S㎝에서 23.53, 41.95, 57.40%의 피복율을 보였다. 한국들잔디와 톨 페스큐의 혼합잔디는 1997년 7월에 1996년 늦가을과 큰 차이가 없는 피복율 수준을 보였다. 질소 시비율과 예고 간에는 유의한 수준의 교호작용이 있었다. 1998년 11월에는 한국들잔디의 피복율이 혼파 톨페스큐 두 품종간에 차이가 났는데,'Arid'와 'Grassland Garland' 조성구에서 각각 21.68%와 32.25%의 피복율을 보였다. 한국들잔디 피복율은 낮은 예고, 낮은 질소수준과 저답압에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 한국들잔디에서는 톨 페스쥬 품종간과 질소수준, 톨 페스큐 품종간과 예고, 답압정도와 질소수준에서 교호작용을 보였다. 한국들잔디의 줄기밀도는 1998년도 실험에서 예고 6.5, 5와 3.5㎝에서 7.42, 26.47과 58.96%를 나타내었고, 질소 수준 0, 50, 100㎏/㏊ 에서 47.26, 20.27, 26.26%의 밀도를 보였다. 한국들잔디의 밀도는 질소수준과 예고, 답압정도에서 영향을 받았는데 이것은 잔디 관리 방법에 따라 줄기밀도와 잎의 생장이 적응하는 방식이 다르다는 것을 의미한다.

Managing a mixture of zoysiagrass with tall fescue has been proposed in transitional zone as a practical practice to combine the advantages of the two species and compensate the limitations. To manage the mixture is a challenge because two species are involved. The objective of this study was to determine if zoysiagrass/tall fescue mixture can be maintained with proper mowing and fertilization under simulated sport traffic at an acceptable quality level. Zoysiagrass was seeded in June and tall fescue was overseeded in August 1996. In November 1996, zoysiagrass coverage was 62.36, 29.88, and 30.02% for 0, 50, and 100 ㎏ ㏊<SUP>-1</SUP> N rates, respectively. At the same time, zoysiagrass coverage was 23.53, 41.95, and 57.40% for the mowing heights of 6.5, 5.0, and 3.5 ㎝, respectively. Zoysiagrass and tall fescue coverage in July 1997 was showing the same trend as in the late season of ] 996 although the differences were not as big. There were significant interactions between N fertilization rates and mowing heights. In November 1998, the zoysiagrass coverage was different among the two tall fescue variety mixtures, 21.68, and 32.25% in 'Arid' and 'Grasslands Garland', respectively. Zoysiagrass coverage was favored in lower mowing height, lower N rates, and lower traffic. Interaction effects on zoysiagrass were found between tall fescue variety and nitrogen rate, tall fescue variety and mowing height, and traffic and nitrogen rate. Zoysiagrass shoot density was 7.42, 25.47, and 58.95% for mowing heights of 6.5, 5, and 3.5 ㎝, respectively; and it was 47.27, 20.27, and 26.26% for N rates of 0, 50, and 100 ㎏ ㏊<SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively in 1998. The effects on zoysiagrass shoot density from the interaction of N rate and tall fescue variety was significant in 1998. Shoot density responded to the N rate, mowing height, and traffic differently from the ground coverage, indicating that shoot and leaf growth have different adaptation strategies.
