Abstract
Wheel track ruts form under moving sprinklers and the depth of ruts is reduced and water infiltration is increased by using solid polymeric products. Solid polymeric products containing water soluble polymer are located over each wheel track. Sprinkler water contacts and dissolves the solid polymeric products, carrying water soluble polymer into the wheel track.
Claims12
A method of applying water soluble polymer to sprinkler wheel tracks in which solid polymeric products are attached to the outside of a moving sprinkler system and travel with the moving sprinkler system and in which sprinkler water leaving the sprinkler dissolves and activates the solid polymeric products, continuously dribbling liquid polymer solution along the length of the wheel tracks.
