Effects of some polymers on runoff, soil loss and crust strength under laboratory conditions

22973

Two soil samles with sandy clay loam and sandy loam textures were used and it was carried out in laboratory conditions with 3 replicated at this study. After artificial rainfall were applied on erosion plots which were sprayed polyacrylamide (PAM) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) at different intensities (0, 6.70 ve 33.50 kg ha^-1), it was investigated the effects of these polymers on runoff, soil loss and crust strengths. End of this study, it was found that these values were decreased for both of soils. According to statistical analyses, it was determined that PAM and PVA applications reduced runoff and crust strengths significantly (P 0.05) in sandy loam textures soil sample.
