Ans. Many of today’s popular sports have been played for hundreds of years. Traditionally, sports were played on natural grass surfaces. Maintenance of grass turf surfaces involves different activities including mowing, irrigation and control of weeds, pests and disease. In 1960s, some sporting organisations started using artificial pitches. Artificial playing surfaces were created with the intent to increase the durability and versatility of the playing surface, thereby enabling multisport use and to provide an indoor surface that was relatively easy to maintain. Coupled with field lighting, the playing hours and income generated increased considerably at sports facilities equipped with synthetic fields. The fields were more durable than natural grass with regard to both seasonal weather conditions and frequency of use. In addition, the maintenance required for artificial surfaces was appealing, even with the higher initial investment. The durability of artificial turf allows continual use.
