Depending on the sport concerned and the field\u2019s frequency of use, various other factors need to be monitored:<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The density of the pitch, its firmness, uniformity of cut and grass height, aeration,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">the presence of felt<\/span>,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0070c0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belrobotics.com\/en\/blog\/maintain\/turf-diseases\/\">combating turf diseases<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and weeds, deciding between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.belrobotics.com\/en-int\/blog\/maintain\/traditional-regeneration-by-overseeding-advice-from-a-pro\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">overseeding or repair<\/span><\/a>, between decompacting the pitch\u2019s different layers or using a roller, sanding and liming, plus watering and fertilisation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">All of these factors have a significant impact on a sports turf\u2019s playing performance, but its density is especially important, as a high concentration of blades and roots provides greater resistance to trampling and tearing. And since sports fields are regularly subjected to a severe pounding, it should definitely be considered.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>How to obtain a thick &amp; healthy turf<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3 align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Mow the lawn more often to make your turf denser!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">To make your turf denser and healthier, it\u2019s essential to mow it frequently, as when upward growth is slowed by very regular cutting, the grass adapts to this and spreads out across the surface by increasing the number of shoots. At the same time, the roots continue to develop both horizontally and downwards. These two factors give the grass better anchorage in the ground, making it much stronger and more resistant. N.B.: while it\u2019s essential to mow the lawn frequently, certain varieties of grass have reduced tolerance of very short cuts.<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Robot mowers: a tailored solution!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Increasing the mowing frequency of a sports turf using a standard mower will increase your workload and, invariably, your costs. A robot mower, however, avoids this disadvantage by cutting the grass automatically each day. What\u2019s more, the high-quality\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.belrobotics.com\/en-int\/blog\/maintain\/mulching-a-five-part-explanation\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">mulching<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of a mower such as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.belrobotics.com\/en-int\/mowers\/bigmow\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">Bigmow robot<\/span><\/a>\u00a0encourages root growth and also makes the turf more solid.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">So if the idea of a perfect pitch for less effort appeals to you, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with us to\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0070c0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belrobotics.com\/en-int\/free-quote\">request a free quote<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that the density of a sports field\u2019s turf is one of the factors that affects playing performance?
