Abstract
This newly discovered asexually reproduced variety of zoysiagrass plant is a perennial having a superior rate of spreading with texture improved over common zoysiagrass, superior turf grass quality regarding compactness and low degree of thatch, and slightly darker than average green color.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a Zoysiagrass plant. The plant is a progeny that was discovered by David Doguet of Poteet, Tex., of a zoysiagrass plant in a collection of plants from Kobe, Japan made by Jack Murray (deceased). From these progenies, as seeds, were grown a collection of plants from which David Doguet discovered the single plant that was later cloned into sod and called ‘Zeon’. Another zoysiagrass discovered by David Doguet, the variety ‘JaMur’, is the subject of the co-pending U.S. Patent Application, having Ser. No. 09/059,591.
For purposes of registration under the “International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants” (generally known by its French acronym as the UPOV Convention) and noting Section 1612 of the Manual of Patent Examination Procedures, the new variety of zoysia grass of the present invention is named ‘Zeon’.
The new zoysiagrass ‘Zeon’ possess high stolon frequency, good color, vertical posture, short stolon blade length, good perimeter stolon length, and short internode length. The blade length is about 6 cm long, having a width of about 4 mm. Mature plant height is from 6 to 12 cm.
FIG. 1 is a photograph of an ‘Emerald’ plant on the left and a ‘Zeon’ plant on the right.
FIG. 2 is a photograph of ‘Zeon’ solid sod.
FIG. 3 is a photograph of three varieties of zoysiagrass plants with ‘Zeon’ on the left, ‘Omni’ center, and ‘JaMur’ on the right.
FIG. 4 is a photograph of two varieties of zoysiagrass plant with ‘Zeon’ on the left and ‘Omni’ on the right.
‘Zeon’ was characterized in greenhouse and field conditions and is a unique variety of zoysia grass developed as described above. ‘Zeon’ has been propagated by stolon cuttings in Poteet, Tex. and all traits of the plant have been found to be stable through successive generations of asexual propagation.
The grass was planted in 1996 and grown in Carbondale, Ill. as part of the National Zoysiagrass Test conducted by the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). ‘Zeon’ ranked higher in turf quality than ‘Emerald’ (unpatented) or ‘Meyer’ (unpatented) with color the same as ‘Emerald’ and ‘Meyer’, and, as seen in Table 1, has texture similar to that of ‘Emerald’ and finer than that of ‘Meyer’. Further shown in Table 1, the thickness of thatch for ‘Zeon’ was less than all other cultivars shown other than for ‘JaMur’ and the posture of ‘Zeon’ is shown to be quite vertical.

Comparisons are shown in Tables 2 through 4 of internode length, thickness, and color, number of nodes from stolon tip to first branch, rate of branching per stolon node, stolon blade length and width, stolon sheath length, shoot blade length and width, shoot sheath length, and blade and ligule hair length and frequency. Using this information, Zeon can easily be distinguished from the other varieties shown.
As shown in Table 2, the shoot blade length and sheath lengths of ‘Zeon’ were shorter than that of ‘Meyer’, but similar to that of ‘Emerald’. The stolon blade width of ‘Zeon’ was greater than that of ‘Emerald’, but less than that of ‘Meyer’. Its stolon sheath length was greater than those of ‘Emerald’ and ‘Meyer’ but shorter than those of ‘El Toro’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,845) and ‘Chinese Common’ (unpatented).

Its ligule hairs were longer than those of ‘Emerald’ and ‘Meyer’. The ligule hairs of ‘Zeon’ were dense, while those of ‘Emerald’ were absent and those of ‘Meyer’ were frequent.
