THE INTERNATIONAL TURFGRASS GENETIC ASSURANCE PROGRAM ( ITGAP)

Why is Accredited Certification important for your Turf, and what does it really mean?

ITGAP is synonymous with quality. Under this program I know I’m sourcing certified stock that is being grown under stringent protocols by people who understand the challenges and nuances of working in certain conditions. The program is a great tool to maintain quality control on international projects

Why ITGAP?

ITGAP was established to assure varietal purity and identity. Through a set of production protocols and guidelines, we can maintain the genetic and mechanical purity of specific turf grass varieties.

Is ITGAP a standard?

Yes. ITGAP certifies a proven process. It is a recommended set of proven and recognized guidelines to help ensure purity and quality against contamination.

Is there a fee associated with ITGAP?

Yes. Member growers pay an annual fee and require annual inspections as part of the program.

How will the industry benefit from ITGAP?
