Turf Certification - get what you paid for
How do you guarantee you’re buying genuine Sir Walter? You want the best new grass like TifTuf, but how do you know you aren’t just being sold any old couch?
This is where turf certification comes in.
The International Turfgrass Genetic Assurance Program (ITGAP), was developed to ensure the years of research and development into a new turf variety wouldn’t be lost to contamination or cross-pollination. ITGAP provides licenses for turf producers to grow and sell these certified grasses and monitors their productions systems and supply of planting material. This ensures the traits for selection are not lost.
In Australia, the ITGAP program is implemented through The Australian Genetic Assured Purity Program (AusGAP).
Rivturf, as a Lawn Solutions Australia turf growers are AusGAP Accredited. Which means if you purchase your turf from Rivturf, you can be assured that the turf variety you are purchasing is exactly what you are paying for. This is particularly important if you have an area that requires a particular level of shade tolerance, wear resistance, drought tolerance or required growth rate.
