The drought resistance of Dichondra repens and Zoysia japonica at emergence stage was compared by means of different concentrations of Polyethylene Glycol(PEG) 6 000 solution and sod-establishing speed experiment under different soil moisture contents.The results indicated that with the increase of drought stress,seed germination potential reduced;D.repens was more sensitive than Z.japonica,with seedling uniformity decreased.The threshold for D.repens was-11bar,and-7bar for Z.japonica.If take germination ra...
