CHEMICAL SOIL SURFACE TREATMENTS

Tackifiers, or soil binding agents, are mixed with fiber, seeds, and/or fertilizer for use in hydromulching and hydro-seeding; however, tackifiers may be used alone as a surface soil treatment. Soil binders are applied by putting them into solution and spraying them on the soil or by spreading solid granulated particles on the soil where they can dissolve in rain and/or overland flow.
