Comparison of the effects of the 2 PAMs (combined with PG) on the final IR and cumulative runoff indicated that, in the loamy sand, loam, and clay-E, use of PAM(H) led to larger final IR and smaller cumulative runoff values than an application of PAM(M) (Figs 2 and 3).
There has been an increasing interest in using polyacrylamide (PAM) for erosion control as well, largely because of its highly successful introduction to irrigated agriculture in the last decade.
