A method of making a plant-based deep pile fabric that closely resembles animal fur or wool, that includes extracting the plant fibers from the plant material and forming a yarn or sliver made from plant fibers and simultaneously attaching it to a scrim also made from plant fibers, where the fiber is attached and extends from the scrim to form a length of plant-fiber pile fabric having natural plant fibers on one side and the scrim on the opposite side. The method includes finishing the scrim side of the fabric with an adhesive agent to attach the fibers to the scrim and form a stable base. The method also includes finishing the plant fiber pile side of the fabric by applying fur-industry specific processing steps to alter the properties of the fibers resulting in an even closer resemblance of animal fur.

Provided is a method for manufacturing an artificial turf, including: providing a base cloth; providing artificial turf yarns; tufting the artificial turf yarns on the base cloth, and applying an adhesive; and blowing air to the base cloth having the adhesive applied thereto to obtain the artificial turf. According to the manufactured artificial turf, when passing air through the air blowing device, water permeable holes are formed in the bonding layer applied on the base cloth. The water seepage rate of the artificial turf is increased by means of water seepage through the water permeable holes. Moreover, there is no need to pierce the adhesive applied surface of the base cloth during production, thereby avoiding damage to the structure of the artificial turf by piercing. This effectively prevents the artificial turf yarns from loosening and falling off and prolongs the service life of the artificial turf.
