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 with lower environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Each collaborator has three key elements:<\/p>\n

\u2014 A national recognized institution for accurate and independent testing
\u2014 Regionally selected for geography and environment adaptability
\u2014 Able to influence the A-LIST protocols<\/p>\n
