Polyacrylamide (PAM), a biodegradable polymer, has been used in irrigating ditch to reduce soil loss for a long time. It can also be used as an aggregate agent to keep the balance of soil and water. The performance of PAM as a soil aggregate agent of silty clay loams was conducted by the wet-sieving method in this study. The effects of PAM on the germinations and growths of Bermuda and Bahia were observed by irrigating seeds of the grasses with various concentrations of PAM solutions. The experiments were conducted in a controlled box with constant temperature and humility. An outdoor experiments was also tested to understand the germination rate of seeds and the development of roots of grasses in ambient condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
