An infill material for synthetic turfs, or hybrid synthetic-natural turfs, for sports, or recreational, or ornamental uses characterized in that it provides:
- a predetermined percentage by volume of a vegetable material consisting of rachis of cereal ear;
- a predetermined percentage by volume of a vegetable ligninic and/or resinous material, i.e. having a high content of lignin and/or in resin, in such a way that it is highly resistant to the attacks of microorganisms;
