The new and distinct zoysiagrass variety described herein is axFhybrid named 'KSUZ 0802'. 'KSUZ 0802' can be distinguished by its superior turf quality, fine-textured leaves, increased resistance to bluegrass billbug (Ghyllenhaal), and cold tolerance that is comparable to zoysiagrass varieties adapted to the transition zone growing region in the U.S.

Methods and apparatus for interseeding an area of ground having existing vegetation growing thereon are provided. The interseeder apparatus tills a plurality of spaced-apart rows in the ground, deposits seed in the exposed soil of the rows, compacts the seed into the rows, and optionally, sprays at least a portion of the exiting vegetation adjacent the rows with a herbicide so as to reduce competition for the new seedling.
