The greening of lawns increases soil carbon content, which absorbs CO2. The varieties developed by Toyota Motor Corporation can reduce greenhouse gas emissions through labor-saving management. 1. TM9 (Low-maintenance Zoysia Grass) - Fertilizer usage can be halved, reducing fossil fuel consumption in fertilizer production. - Reduces nitrous oxide emissions from nitrogen fertilizers (which has a global warming potential 300 times that of CO2). 2. TM-Cross (High-density Low-maintenance Zoysia Grass) - Expected to have a weed suppression effect, significantly reducing waste generated from weeding and mowing. - Reduces fuel consumption related to waste collection, transportation, and disposal.

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 regular 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 just one to two mowings per year. It forms a lush green turf that is excellent for aesthetics. Please consider it for greening around factories and offices.

1. Features of Greening with Grass - Lower construction/maintenance costs compared to shrubs and other ground cover plants - Weeding tasks are easier due to the abundance of herbicides and other chemicals - Organic matter derived from roots and other sources fixes CO2 in the soil (equivalent to the amount from trees, etc.) - Provides a comfortable environment as soil temperature decreases compared to soil or artificial turf - The upper surface of green spaces (lawns) can be utilized as plazas - Erosion prevention is possible on sloped land 2. Features of Low-Maintenance Kourai Grass TM9 - Forms a beautiful, dense turf with less than half the mowing frequency and fertilizer - Reduces maintenance costs while maintaining aesthetic appeal - Capable of reducing greenhouse gas emissions related to maintenance

TM9 is a low-maintenance type of Zoysia grass that requires less than half the amount of fertilizer compared to common 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, such as CO2 absorption (5 to 18 tons/ha/year) and significant reductions in soil temperature due to evapotranspiration (cooling effect). 【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.

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