This is an improved type of high-density, low-maintenance Zoysia grass. The density of the stems and leaves is about three times that of typical Zoysia grass, making it difficult for airborne weed seeds to land, and the dark surface helps prevent the germination of weed seeds. Growth suppression of germinated weeds has also been observed. Due to its low height, it can be maintained with mowing once or twice a year. It forms a rich green turf that is excellent for aesthetics.

TM9 is a low-maintenance variety of Zoysia grass that requires less than half the amount of fertilizer compared to typical varieties. It loses fewer nutrients during mowing, and due to its short grass height, the frequency of mowing can be reduced to about 1 to 2 times a year. Lawns have environmental benefits similar to forests, with CO2 absorption rates (5 to 18 tons/ha/year) and significant reductions in soil temperature due to transpiration effects (such as the cooling effect of watering). 【Features】 - Reduced mowing frequency (1 to 2 times/year) - Minimal nutrient loss during mowing - Beautiful turf - Dense, dark green leaves *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Wall and rooftop greenery

The grass commonly seen in parks and golf courses actually has a CO₂ absorption rate that is "almost equivalent to that of forests." It is surprising that just a few centimeters of grass can absorb as much CO₂ as large trees. The absorbed CO₂ is stored in the soil, and despite being trampled by many people, it has been working hard for the environment... "Why is that, Toyota?" "What is so amazing about grass that doesn't grow?" I spoke with Toyota officials and producers.
