Polyacrylamide (20 kg ha 鈭?) was sprayed onto the soil in liquid form. Soil material was exposed to rainfall simulation in the laboratory. Infiltration rate was used as an indicator of soil surface sealing. Polyacrylamide increased infiltration rates on all three soils relative to the control.

High molecular weight PAMs tend to be more effective than low molecular weight PAMs. A study by Levy and Agassi (1995) showed that the 20 Mg mol-1 PAM performed better than the 200 kg mol-1 PAM in reducing soil loss and maintaining infiltration rates. Current research using PAMs as soil conditioners focuses on high molecular weight (10-20
Using polyacrylamide with sprinkler irrigation to improve
Center-pivot irrigation systems often apply water at rates greater than the soil infiltration rate. Applying high molecular weight, water-soluble, anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) to the soil can improve infiltration and reduce soil erosion The objective of this study was to determine whether single and multiple PAM applications with sprinkler irrigation improved infiltration under field conditions.
Soil surface application of dissolved linear polyacrylamide (PAM) of high molecular weight (MW) can mitigate seal formation, runoff, and erosion, especially when added with a source of electrolytes (e.g. gypsum). Practical difficulties associated with PAM solution application prohibited commercial use of PAM in dryland farming. An alternative practice of spreading dry granular PAM with high MW

Low infiltration rate and high levels of soil erosion are critical problems in many soils worldwide. Amendment of soils with organic polymers could alleviate these problems. The objective of the present study is to investigate the effects of polymer molecular weight and the degree of drying on the infiltration rate of, and erosion from, three different soil types from Israel. A solution of
POLYMER CHARGE AND MOLECULAR WEIGHT EFFECTS ON TREATED IRRIGATION FURROW PROCESSES R. D. Lentz', R. E. Sojka and C.W. Ross2 ABSTRACT Application of 5-10 mg L-1 water soluble anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) to furrow irrigation water during flow advance substantially reduces sediment loss and increases net infiltration.
APPLYING POLYMERS TO IRRIGATION WATER: EVALUATING
forms of polyacrylamide available, a water soluble anionic polyacrylamide having a molecular weight of 12 to 15 Mg mol-1 and charge-density of 8 to 35% was most effective for furrow erosion control (Lentz et al., 2000). Unless otherwise noted, the use of the terms polyacrylamide or PAM in this article will refer to this particular type of polymer.
Seal formation at the soil surface during rainstorms reduces rain infiltration and leads to runoff and erosion. Surface application of dissolved polyacrylamide (PAM) mixed with gypsum was found to be effective in decreasing seal formation, runoff and erosion.
