The present invention relates to a novel Korean velvet grass variety 'KVX' of the genus Zoysia, and a specific marker for identifying 'KVX', and more specifically, relates to 'KVX' (Accession No: KCTC16100BP), which is a novel Korean velvet grass variety having resistance to high temperature-high humidity stress, low-mowing and shade tolerance, longer green color retention, and ultra-fine leaves.

The present embodiments provide methods for selectively controlling weeds in improved turfgrass, comprising applying clomazone to the improved turfgrass. Until now, clomazone has not been considered for use in improved turf due to unacceptable / anti-aesthetic bleaching properties, which are overcome by the methods described herein. The methods include consideration and management of clomazone application timing relative to turf type, turf dormancy, and overseeding timing and planting depth. The present methods provide the use of clomazone in the control of Poa (Poa annua and P. trivialis) in warm-season and cool-season improved turf types, such as Bermuda grass, Zoysia grass, St. Augustine grass, Centipede grass, Ryegrass, Fescue turf types, Kentucky Bluegrass, or mixtures of thereof. The methods further facilitate the use of clomazone to control Poa and other weeds in overseeding practices, such as overseeding with Ryegrass or Kentucky Bluegrass. These methods achieve desired turfgrass tolerance and turf aesthetics while still achieving desired selective weed control efficacy, supporting a new use for clomazone in improved turfgrass markets.
