WATER-HOLDING CAPACITY FOR HYDROMULCH

It was the intent of this project to develop a reliable test for evaluating the water-holding capacity of various types of hydro-mulch fibers. This was accomplished by refining an initial method which was a synthesis of the methods used by three major producer/testers of hydromulch fiber. Both the initial and resultant methods are described as well as the process of refinement. /Author/
