A-LIST turfgrass cultivars

The Alliance for Low Input Sustainable Turf (A-LIST®) is a non-profit organisation that identifies and tests turfgrass cultivars for performance under lower-input conditions, including reduced water, fertilizer and pesticide use.

To achieve A-LIST approval, a cultivar must meet defined performance criteria in independent trials. Only cultivars that meet those standards can use the A-LIST Approved designation.

For turf managers, A-LIST provides an independent way to identify cultivars proven to perform under reduced-input trial conditions.

A-LIST genetics in ProSelect®

ICL uses A-LIST-approved cultivars within the ProSelect seed portfolio where their characteristics support the intended turf performance.

Kentucky bluegrass

• Bluenote – selected for high turf quality, wear tolerance and recovery.
• Enigma – selected for strong turf performance under demanding conditions.
• Legend – contributes turf quality, wear tolerance and recovery.

These three cultivars form ProSelect 365 Super Sport, a 100% Kentucky bluegrass blend for sports turf, selected for turf quality, wear tolerance and recovery.

Perennial ryegrass

• Fastball 3GL – combines turf quality with good cold tolerance and Crown Rust tolerance.
• Slugger 3GL – selected for strong Gray Leaf Spot tolerance and good spring green-up.
• Stellar 4GL – selected for improved Gray Leaf Spot tolerance, wear tolerance and turf quality.

These cultivars are used within ProSelect Renovator 3GLD, combining complementary performance characteristics including disease tolerance.

Tall fescue

• Avenger III – selected for turf quality, drought tolerance and performance under lower-input conditions.
