The influence of different types of artificial turf on the quality of hybrid turf

Different types of artificial turf are characterized by differing fiber densities and gaps in the base fabric, which have a considerable influence on turf growth and are key factors contributing to the successful establishment of hybrid turf. In this study, two types of conventional synthetic turf and four types of woven synthetic turf were seeded with common bermudagrass to establish different hybrid turfs. Following the establishment of hybrid turf, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the characteristics and quality of different types of turf compared with the common bermudagrass turf, The results revealed that after the complete establishment of hybrid turf, the density of bermudagrass in the woven synthetic turf, with a longitude density of 31.49 yarns·cm⁻¹ and weft density of 157.48 yarns·cm⁻¹, and artificial turf density of 1.71 fiber·cm⁻² and 2.54 shoot·cm⁻², coverage of 88.57%, biomass of 9.97 g·pot⁻¹, uniformity of 6.44 points, and weighted mean of 8.44 points, were all higher than those of the other types of synthetic turf. On the basis of our comprehensive evaluation, this type of woven synthetic turf was accordingly identified as the most suitable for the fabrication of natural-synthetic hybrid turf.
