Soil stabilization for wind erosion control is now possible by using chemical sprays. More tests are needed to determine the optimum dilution and application rates but the amount of spray to apply depends basically upon whether the stabilized surface must bear foot traffic. The economic feasibility of such wind erosion control methods depends upon the potential of the soil needing stabilization.

The materials tested were WX-889, donated by the Velsicol Chemical Corporation, Chicago, Illinois; CR-239, donated by Catalin Chemical Corporation, Paramount, California; Soil-Saver, donated by George A. Ariolo Co., Stockton, California; and Soil-Set, donated by Mico Corporation, Long Beach, California. Land for these tests was provided by William Carter and Sons.
