Research & Technology 

NZSTI has a long history of conducting turf species evaluation trials. Since our inception in 1949, NZSTI has conducted turf species evaluation trials either through our associations with groups such as the former DSIR Grasslands, trials managed by other external groups or trials conducted on our own research plots. This long tradition continues today with NZSTI currently conducting several turf grass species evaluation trials of both cool and warm season grasses and providing independent assessment of other industry managed trials.
