sustainability. Organic soil conditioners: organic mulches, wood products,
and composts as soil amendments and conditioners; paper sludges as soil
conditioners; use of manures for soil improvement; use of biosolids and
effects on soil properties; cheese whey as a soil conditioner. Mineral soil
conditioners: mined and by-product gypsum as soil amendments and
conditioners; use of acids and acidulants on alkali soils and water; mined
and industrial waste products capable of generating gypsum in soil; testing
soils for lime requirements; liming to improve chemical and physical
properties of soil. Polymer soil conditioners; designing synthetic soil
conditioners via post-polymerization reactions: improvement of sandy soils
with soil conditioners; krilium - the famous soil conditioner of the
nineteen fifties; some uses of water-soluble polymers in soil; comparative
effectiveness of polyacrylamide and straw mulch to control erosion and
enhance water infiltration; use of water-soluble polyacrylamide for control
of furrow irrigation-induced soil erosion; some living plants and some
additional products useful as soil conditioners and in various
technologies. Examples uses of soil conditioners: uses of soil conditioners
in landscape soil preparation; soil conditioners for sports turf areas; use
of soil conditioners to enhance and speed bioremediation of contaminated
soil.
