Abstract
Reclaimer-ameliorator polymeric gel, RAPG, is tailored to suit all soil textures and climatic conditions. It imparts almost all the properties of arable lands to sandy soils and hydroponic substrates. The stability of conditioned sand is 4 fold that of a clay soil, and is characterized by low consumption of water, efficient-use of fertilizers, particularly nitrogen.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
