Abstract

A method for applying a water soluble soil stabilizer to soil wherein the soil stabilizer is added to a solid carrier.

Claims (29)

1. A control product that binds soil particles together:

said control product comprising a solid carrier and a water-soluble soil stabilizer (WSSS) soil amendment to bind said soil particles together;

said WSSS is impregnated within said control product, applied onto said control product, or any combination thereof;

an intentional amount of said WSSS leaches out from said control product into said soil;

said intentional amount of WSSS that leaches out of said control product binds said soil particles together.

2. The control product of claim 1 further comprising nutrients wherein:

said intentional amount of WSSS that leaches out of said control product binds said nutrients within said soil to reduce runoff of said nutrient from said soil, leaching of said nutrient from said soil, or any combination thereof.

3. The control product of claim 2 wherein said nutrients comprise calcium, magnesium, or any combination thereof.

4. The control product of claim 2 wherein said nutrients comprise iron, sulfur, manganese, boron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or any combination thereof.

5. The control product of claim 1 further comprising an herbicide wherein:

said intentional amount of WSSS that leaches out of said control product binds said herbicide within said soil to reduce runoff of said herbicide from said soil, leaching of said herbicide from said soil, or any combination thereof.

6. The control product of claim 1 further comprising a pesticide wherein:

said intentional amount of WSSS that leaches out of said control product binds said pesticide within said soil to reduce runoff of said pesticide from said soil, leaching of said pesticide from said soil, or any combination thereof.

7. The control product of claim 6 wherein said pesticide is an insecticide.

8. A control product of claim 1 further comprising a microbe wherein:

said intentional amount of WSSS that leaches out of said control product binds said microbe within said soil to reduce runoff of said microbe from said soil, leaching of said microbe from said soil, or any combination thereof.

9. The control product of claim 1 wherein said WSSS is an anionic water-soluble polyacrylamide (WSPAM).

10. The control product of claim 1 wherein said control product reduces erosion of said soil.

11. The control product of claim 1 wherein said solid carrier further comprises gypsum, a mineral, a soil amendment, a soil conditioner, a waste product, or any combination thereof.

12. The control product of claim 1 wherein said WSSS comprises a water-soluble polyacrylamide, start xanthate, acid hydrolyzed cellulose microfibrils, chitin, gypsum, hydrocolloidal polysaccharide, starch, glycogen and cellulose, acrylic copolymers, sodium acrylate, guar gum, polyethylene-imines, polyamides-amines, polyamines, polyethylene-oxide, sulfonated compounds, or any combination thereof.

13. The control product of claim 1 wherein

said intentional amount of WSSS that leaches out of said control product binds said soil particles together to increase infiltration of water into said soil.

14. The control product of claim 2 wherein said nutrient is iron; said control product further comprises calcium and sulfur; said control product is an agglomerate; said agglomerate is formed by an agglomeration process; said agglomeration process is an agitation agglomeration process, pressure agglomeration process, or any combination thereof.

15. The control product of claim 1 wherein

said intentional amount of WSSS that leaches out of said control product binds said soil particles together to reduce time for seed emergence within said soil, reduce soil borne diseases within said soil, improve survival and growth of plants, improve root growth of plants within said soil, improve crop yield within said soil, expedite crop maturity within said soil, deepens plant rooting in said soil;

increases germination rates of seed in said soil, increases viability of shrub, tree, and/or vegetable transplants in said soil, or any combination thereof.

16. The control product of claim 15 wherein said control product further comprises a seed.

17. The control product of claim 15 wherein said control product further comprises a nutrient; said nutrient consisting of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, sulfur, manganese, boron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, or any combination thereof.

18. The control product of claim 10 wherein said solid carrier is an agglomerated mulch product.
