Soil Loss by Wind erosion for Three Different Textured Soils Treated with Polyacrylamide And Crude Oil, Iraq

摘要

The study is conducted to estimate the resistance of three soils (EL-Hartha clay loam, Barjisiya sandy loam and the soil near the sand dunes in Sheikh saad area sandy soil) to wind erosion, it is also aimed at getting full acquaintance of the relationship between the soil loss and the physical and chemical features of soil. In addition to the experiment of some soil stabilizers, polyacrylamide (PAM) concen- tration of 0.2/100 and crude oil in concentration of 1/100 in order to reduce or prevent wind erosion.
