  • Can polyacrylamide soil amendments be used on a farm?
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) soil amendments are increasingly used to remediate these degraded lands with the potential benefits on soil health and crop production. However, the scientific evidence of farm-scale use of one-time versus repeated application of PAM has not been reported.
  • Do polyacrylamides improve soil infiltration?
  • Polyacrylamides (PAMs), when applied as a soil amendment, purportedly improve soil infiltration, decrease erosion, and reduce offsite agrochemical transport. The effect of PAM on infiltration, eros...
  • Do polyacrylamides improve soil agrochemical transport?
  • Assigned to Associate Editor Sam Carrick. Polyacrylamides (PAMs), when applied as a soil amendment, purportedly improve soil infiltration, decrease erosion, and reduce offsite agrochemical transport.
  • Does adding anionic polyacrylamide improve soil aggregation?
  • Adding anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) to soils stabilizes existing aggregates and improves bonding between and aggregation of soil particles. However, the dependence of PAM efficacy as an aggregate stabilizing agent with soils having different clay mineralogy has not been studied.
