Description
Ye-Jin Jang and co-authors run a long term field test of modified zoysiagrass on non target arthropods in South Korea, published in 2026. The grass can survive a strong weed killer, and one line is male sterile. Two sites gave over half a million arthropods in all. The catch was sorted into pests, natural enemies, and other groups.
The mix of species changed a lot by place and by year. Models showed year and region drove counts and diversity. Modified and normal grass did not differ in a clear way. A few small gaps faded on closer checks. The field results back the grass as safe for arthropod life.
