Desso GrassMaster

**Desso GrassMaster** is a sports playing field surface made of natural grass that has artificial fibres added to it.  The unique part of this system is the artificial grass fibres, stuck 20 cm deep, which cover 3% of the surface. During the growing process, the roots of the natural grass mix with the man-made grass fibres to anchor the turf to product a stable, solid, and even field with better drainage and better playing comfort.

**Reinforced natural grass** is used for stadium pitches and training pitches used for soccer, rugby, American football and baseball. Reinforced natural grass can also be used for events and concerts. The artificial turf injection shortens the recovery time for the grass. **Reinforced Natural Grass** (also known as **Hybrid Grass**), as the name suggest, is formed by the **mixture of natural** and **artificial fibres**. It was in the year **1990**, when the first generation of **Reinforced Natural Grass** developed. Using **turf**, made up of synthetic fibres, combined with Natural Grass has become extremely popular in recent times. In this case, the artificial fibres are **intertwined** with natural grass roots as they grow. The synthetic fibers help to **stabilize** and **protect** the natural grass, improving growth of natural grass fields.

In 2010, for the first time in history, a FIFA World Cup<sup>TM</sup> was played on grass pitches that were partly made up of artificial grass in the Mbombela Stadium and the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
