What kind of SOD is on the football field?
Artificial grass and natural grass texture is hard, the players fall or tackles, skin bruising easily. And true grass is grown with earth. When people run and turn around, the grass and soil absorb most of the inertia and impact. The artificial lawn is just the opposite. In addition, due to the addition of buffer particles between the artificial turf, these colloidal particles will release some harmful chemicals to the sun when exposed to the sun. On artificial turf, the speed and route of the ball are not the same as those of the natural grass. The players who play with the grass are not easy to adapt to.
The world cup in South Africa was restricted to artificial grass. It's also the first time to use artificial grass in the world cup
However, the techniques of artificial grass are also improving. The artificial turf used in the world cup in South Africa is the closest in texture to the natural grass. Desso claims that the artificial turf of the two pitches has only 3% of the artificial ingredients used for the root reinforcement of the turf. The surface of the turf is the same as that of the natural turf. Of course, the cost of the turf is much higher.
