Water-soluble soil conditioners offer the following benefits: [10] increase pore space in soils containing clay; increase water infiltration into soils containing clay; prevent soil crusting; stop erosion and water runoff; make friable soil that is easy to cultivate; make soil dry quicker after rain or irrigation, so that the soil can be worked ...
Synthetic polymers began replacing other chemical binders for soil stabilization in agriculture in the late 20th century. [1] Compared to traditional chemical binders, polymer soil additives can achieve the same amount of strengthening at much lower concentrations – for example, mixtures of 0.5-1% of various biopolymers have strength levels that match or exceed those of 10% cement mixtures ...

[1] There are different types of hardpan, all sharing the general characteristic of being a distinct soil layer that is largely impervious to water. Some hardpans are formed by deposits in the soil that fuse ...
The use of soil tests, coupled with the corresponding provisions, can alleviate issues of nutrition and irrigation that can result from non porous Ultisol. [4] Soil tests help indicate the pH, and red clay soil typically has a low pH. [5] The addition of lime is used to help to increase the pH in soil and can help increase the pH in Ultisol as ...
Clay body being extruded from a de-airing pug. A pugmill, pug mill, or commonly just pug, is a machine in which clay or other materials are extruded in a plastic state or a similar machine for the trituration of ore. [1] Industrial applications are found in pottery, bricks, cement and some parts of the concrete and asphalt mixing processes. A ...
