ASTM F2060-00 (R2018) PDF Download

Turfgrass used on natural-surfacing athletic fields must meet the minimum standards outlined in ASTM F2060-00 (R2018). The manual includes a variety of techniques, including overseeding, irrigation, core cultivation, fertilizer, and insect control.

The standard highlights the significance of a dense and consistent turfgrass stand on playing fields since it improves the field's playing quality and safety. A well-kept field can give athletes secure footing and lessen the force of tackles or falls.

The guideline specifies that properly managed turf on a natural playing surface should reduce field-related injuries, but it does not ensure injury prevention. The manual also suggests getting more detailed information from regional cooperative extension services. Maintaining a high-quality natural playing field necessitates taking into account elements including soil types, regional climate, and grass species.
