This study was designed to test the effectiveness of acrylic emulsion (AE) as a straw binder. A secondary objective was to determine the application cost differences, if any, between the AE and emulsified asphalt. Treatments consisted of: (1) 0.56 kiloliters of AE/hectare plus 2.2 metric tons of straw/hectare, and (2) 1.68 kiloliters of asphalt/hectare plus 4.5 metric tons of straw/hectare. Vegetative cover obtained during two growing seasons with Treatment 1 was as good as that with Treatment 2.
