What is the Goal of the Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) Program?

The main goal of the TWCA program is to combat the rising concern of our depleting water resources. To accomplish this goal, the TWCA program is designed to recognize plants and other live goods products in the lawn and garden industry that provide a clear benefit in water conservation. Products that become TWCA qualified will have successfully met a stringent set of criteria. Therefore, consumers will be assured that any product with the TWCA qualified seal provides true water conservation benefits. The use of water to maintain residential lawns, recreational areas and landscapes, and other non-agricultural uses is often criticized and scrutinized by various governing bodies and the general public. In order to meet the growing tide of concern over non-agriculture water use, it is imperative that researchers work to introduce new plants and other live goods products into the market.

National Seed now carries certain varieties that have proven water conservation benefits. These varieties have been independently tested to meet a stringent set of criteria via the Turfgrass Water that can survive under reduced or limited water while still maintaining overall plant heal Conservation Alliance (TWCA).

The TWCA is an unbiased, independent foundation who's number one goal is water conservation focusing on live plant material. For more information, please contact your sales representative.
