| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses soil conditioners, suggesting they "provide a long sought means of improving an undesirable and of maintaining a desirable physical condition of the soil through the proper application of certain organic chemical compounds to the soil." Profiles vinyl acetate meleic acid polymer and polymers of polyacrylonitril, two soil conditioner compounds. States that "it is...highly essential that [soil conditioners] be allowed to take up sufficient water from the soil to attain their maximum stabilizing effect. In addition, the soil must be put into the desired physical condition or tilth or have it already existing." Mentions that "it has been found that when [soil conditioners] are added to a turf soil in good tilth, its resistance to compaction is materially increased...There is also the possibility of using these materials in the improvement of poor soils which one may be forced to use for composting." |
