Cavalier™ Zoysia was developed by Dr. Milt Engelke and Texas A&M University.
Cavalier™ Zoysia is distinguished from other zoysiagrass by its fine texture, long, narrow leaf, with low rhizome, but high density stolon production. It has good to excellent salt tolerance, and good shade tolerance.
Cavalier™ Zoysia is resistant to the fall armyworm and the tropical sod webworm. Cavalier™ is intermediate in its growth and recovery rate. Cavalier™ has good-excellent winter hardiness and will persist in regions north of Kansas, Missouri and Southern Illinois as well as the Southern states. Cavalier™ is rated number one in the NTEP trials over 3 years.
Cavalier™ Zoysia will find its primary utility in home lawn, golf course fairways and tee boxes and in parks, sports fields and other recreational areas.
Cavalier™ Zoysia has been identified by several golf course architects as the future grass of choice for golf course fairways in the cool season- warm season transition zone.
