Abstract:

According to the grass species which are mainly applied in sod culture in southern orchards and tea gardens, the study explores the characteristics of grass species that need to be understood for sod culture. The study describes the research progress of Trifolium repens, Stylosanthes spp., Chameaerista rotundifolia, Lotononis bainesii, Indigofera spicata, Paspalum notatum, Festuca elata, Lolium pereenne and Borreria articularis, then summarizes four problems in current grass species research, including insufficient development and selection of grass species, inconsistent research and application, difficulties in grass planting, and less attention to breeding research. Base on the review, the study proposes that the development and selection of grass species should follow the principles of suitable external botany traits, strong competitiveness with weeds, good adaptability, labor-saving cultivation, and the best combination of some other functional traits. At last, the future research direction is discussed to provide references for the promotion of sod culture in southern orchards and tea gardens.
