accumulation in storage organs. Unlike bermudagrass, cold tolerance in zoysiagrass ( Zoysia japonica ) has been attributed to an increased photosynthetic rate during the cold hardening period ( Rogers et al., 1977 ). However, Dionne et al. (2001) observed

shade levels in ‘Diamond’ zoysiagrass ( Zoysia japonica Stedu.). Root DW in Trial 1 increased as K rate increased from 0 to 2.4 g·m −2 ( Tables 3 and 4 ). Juska et al. (1965) found that root growth of kentucky bluegrass was reduced without K
