Abstract/Contents: | Discusse polymers as a soil amendment, which are claimed to be able to save 50 percent on irrigation, decreasing plant stress by eliminating moistrue peaks and valleys, and improve soil texture through expansion and contraction. "The chemistry of a polymer largely determined its characteristics and price. Landscape contractors need to work with suppliers to match the characteristics they require for various applications with price." Also discusses the extra advantages of polymers such as increasing safety by providing softer, better cushioned athletic fields, techniques of post-planting application, and determination of application rates. |
