  • Can polyacrylamide control soil erosion from water?
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) is often applied to control soil erosion from water but its effectiveness on different nutrients is not clear. This study tested the influence of PAM application rate, PAM molecular weight, and soil slope gradient on K + and N losses as well as their interactive effects under simulated rainfall in the laboratory.
  • How does polyacrylamide affect runoff?
  • Polyacrylamide application affects runoff by preventing soil surface sealing and increasing water viscosity ( Li et al., 2010, Sojka et al., 2007 ). This reduces soil loss by changing runoff erosivity and soil erosion resistance ( Lee et al., 2008, Sojka et al., 1998 ).
  • What causes nonionic polyacrylamide adsorption?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamide adsorption on clay minerals is mainly caused by van der Waals forces , whereas cationic or anionic forms adsorb and bind soil particles through electrostatic forces or bridge formation between PAM charged moieties and solid surface group [1, 80].
  • Does anionic polyacrylamide treatment improve seedling emergence and growth?
