  • Does polyacrylamide control wind erosion?
  • This will require you to create an account if you don't already have one. Polyacrylamide (PAM) has been shown to be very effective in controlling water erosion from furrow irrigation, but it has not been evaluated for its effectiveness in controlling wind erosion.
  • Does polyacrylamide affect soil erosion?
  • Results prove that the surface runoff and the weight loss of soil decrease with the increase of polyacrylamide concentration. Soil erosion is sorely a challenge affecting the sustainability and productivity of agriculture, thus leading to economic loss (Pimentel et al. 1995 ).
  • Can Pam be used for forming wind erosion-resistant surfaces (crusts)?
  • Laboratory and field wind tunnel tests using several formulations and rates of PAM were conducted to determine its possible use for forming wind erosion-resistant surfaces (crusts). Tests showed that PAM is no more effective than natural rainfall for wind erosion control under general agricultural conditions.
  • Is Pam better than natural rainfall for wind erosion control?
  • Tests showed that PAM is no more effective than natural rainfall for wind erosion control under general agricultural conditions. D.V. Armbrust is a soil scientist with the Wind Erosion Research Unit, USDA-ARS, Manhattan, Kansas.
