Abstract

In addition to the slope reclamation studies to prevent erosion, one of the recently alternative approaches is the application of artificial polymers to the soil to improve the soil structure and aggregate stability. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects on runoff and soil loss by using different doses of Polyacrylamide application and different slope reclamation methods. Because of this, in order to reveal the effects of different Slopes reclamation measures on the amount of erosion, runoff parcels were established to identify the amount of runoff and the amount of soil carried on a slope land with similar characteristics in terms of topographic characteristics (slope, aspect, elevation, etc.), climate characteristics (rainfall, temperature, etc.), and soil characteristics (bedrock, texture, depth). In this context, seven different parcels have been studied. According to the findings obtained from the parcels; total erosion carried as suspended and swab materials, 2,583 tons/ha in control parcel, 1,747 tons/ha in OT parcel, 1,672 tons/ha in PAM3 parcel, 1,480 tons/ha in PAM1 parcel, 1,278 tons/ha in PAM2 parcel, 1,075 tons in parcel of stone/ha and knitted fence parcel is 0.748 tons /ha. Accordingly, it has been determined that the most effective methods to prevent erosion are knitted fences and stone cords and the most effective PAM ratio is PAM-2 (6,666 gr / 10m²).

Poliakrilamid Uygulamasının Toprak Taşınımı ve Yüzey Akışına Etkisi

Abstract

Erozyonun önlenmesine yönelik şev ıslah çalışmalarına ek olarak son dönemde alternatif yaklaşımlardan biri de toprak yapısını ve agregat stabilitesini iyileştirmek amacıyla toprağa yapay polimerlerin uygulanmasıdır. Bu çalışmada farklı dozlarda Poliakrilamid uygulaması ve farklı şev ıslah yöntemleri kullanılarak yüzey akışı ve toprak kaybı üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Bu kapsamda yedi farklı parsel incelenmiştir. Parsellerden elde edilen bulgulara göre; Askı ve sürüntü malzemesi olarak taşınan toplam erozyon, Kontrol parselinde 2.583 ton/ha, OT parselinde 1.747 ton/ha, PAM3 parselinde 1.672 ton/ha, PAM1 parselinde 1.480 ton/ha, PAM2 parselinde 1.278 ton/ha, 1.075 ton parsel taş/ha ve örme çit parseli 0,748 ton/ha'dır. Buna göre erozyonu önlemede en etkili yöntemlerin örme çitler ve taş kordonlar olduğu, en etkili PAM oranının ise PAM-2 (6.666 gr/10m²) olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
