Nezonsia, or more commonly likely referring to "Zoysia" grass, often will not go away easily because it is a tough, warm-season grass that is drought- tolerant, dense, and spreads via stolons and rhizomes. Its persistence is linked to its resilience and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, making it hard to eradicate once established. If "will not go away" refers to problems like patches, discoloration, or diseases of Zoysia grass, common reasons include fungal diseases such as brown patch, dollar spot, and rust. These diseases survive in specific environmental conditions such as excess moisture, poor drainage, shade, and improper lawn care practices. Without proper fungicide treatment and cultural practices (like proper mowing, aeration, fungicide application, watering early in the day, and improving airflow), these diseases can persist and worsen over time. Also, the thick density and thatch buildup in Zoysia grass itself can contribute to persistent lawn problems since it supports fungal growth and restricts water penetration. In summary, Zoysia is persistent because:
- It is inherently durable, drought-tolerant, and spreads effectively.
- It can host fungal diseases that persist without proper management.
- That thick thatch layer encourages disease and slows eradication.
- Poor lawn care such as improper mowing height or overwatering worsens the problem.
Proper management practices are necessary to control or eliminate unwanted Zoysia grass or Zoysia-related problems, including physical removal, fungicides if diseases are present, aeration, proper mowing, and adjusting watering schedules.
