Abstract
The use of polymers to control wind erosion has been considered in recent years. However, before recommending them as mulch, their effects on the environment and reduction of wind erosion should be investigated. In this paper, the effect of Imen Asia polymer in stabilizing quicksands and reducing wind erosion in both laboratory and field sections in the Lower Jargooiyeh region was investigated. For this purpose, first, an emulsion of polymer in water with a ratio of one to three (one-part polymer in two parts water) was prepared and to investigate its effect on reducing erosion, a volume of emulsion containing 80, 100, and 120 kg of polymer in 25 m2 plots Sprayed with three repetitions. The results showed that the wind erosion threshold speed after mulching increased from 3.5 to more than 11 m / s in all treatments. The study of the environmental effects of the polymer showed that the concentration of mulch did not affect the germination of native plants and the lifestyle of insects and rodents in the area. The effect of polymer on the physical and chemical properties of soil, including changes in the number of toxic elements and heavy metals on the soil before and after mulching, also confirms that it does not have a negative effect on these properties. Economically, the cost of using this polymer per hectare was evaluated. Based on the net present value (NVP) of this material and its internal rate of return (IRR), the economics of using it and investing in the use of this polymer as mulch are justified. Due to the lack of harmful effects on the environment and the ability to reduce wind erosion and economical to oil mulch, the use of this polymer as mulch is recommended
