Application of Biodegradable Polymers on Hydroseeding

Abstract:

Erosion soil loss is an important problem to be solved. Polyacrylamide (PAM), a biodegradable polymer, has been used in irrigating ditch to reduce soil loss for a long time. It can also be used as an aggregate agent to keep the balance of soil water. The performance of PAM as a soil aggregate agent of silty clay loams was conducted by the wet-sieving method in this study. The effects of PAM on the germination and growth of Bermuda and Bahia were observed. The experiments were conducted in a controlled box with constant temperature and humility. An out-door experiment was also conducted to understand the germination rate of seeds and the development of roots of grasses in ambient condition. Experimental results showed that the addition of PAM would delay the germinations of seeds. However it could enhance the growth of the Bermuda and Bahia grasses.
