Working Together
The success of the A-LIST is built upon an industry-academic collaboration where the players are independent, but work together to improve the quality of turf-grass at lower environmental impact.
Research Cooperating Members
To insure the integrity and independence of the program, testing is conducted by nationally recognized cooperators and selected on a regional basis to insure environmental adaptability. These cooperators also participate on an advisory board to further influence protocols. Participation in the independent and geographically diverse National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) is strongly encouraged.
