Fine texture. Spring green-up. Select and rank the attributes that matter most to you. The Turf Tech Tool dashboard filters 20 million data points and nearly 1,500 turf seed varieties from the National Turfgrass Program’s (NTEP) independent database. Find turfgrass species with the attributes you need based on data – not guesswork.
Turf seed decisions you can trust.
Just the facts. The Turf Tech Tool’s patented algorithm searches all species, all years, all attributes and all state trials to find top performers for each attribute you select. A patented indexing algorithm identifies a “Top Performing Group” for each attribute. The tool assigns an overall Turf Performance Index (TPI) score for each variety based on individual attribute score averages. Filter TPI scores. View competitor products. Make decisions based on facts, not spin.
Elite turf seed performance.
Choose turf seed that meets individual and regional needs. Optimize turf performance with fewer turf inputs. Turf seed matched to need performs better with less water usage, pesticide usage and other turf inputs. Patented indexing capabilities also enable you to view top performers across multiple attributes, aiding blending for genetic diversity and helping turf tolerate environmental stressors better.

Why are turf grass varieties important?
Not all turf seed varieties are created equal. Some varieties are more susceptible to disease pathogens, insects, weed invasion and environmental pressures, such as wear and tear.
Top performing turf varieties must overcome environmental, agronomic and management factors.
