The A-LIST Process

All new sustainable grass varieties are performance tested to a transparent criteria before receiving the A-LIST Approved logo. This process takes years to complete.

1) Grass seed companies follow breeding trial guidelines and test for low-input performance. Potential A-LIST varieties are submitted for approval for the next step.

2) The promising varieties are grown, tested, and analyzed by independent cooperators. This includes participation in the Participation in National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). Seed varieties passing the A-LIST protocols are eligible to be considered as seed candidates.

3) A-LIST variety candidates are reviewed by committee and only the best are selected for approval.
