Desertification Prevention Technology Using Interpolyelectrolyte Complexes

Description

This monograph includes discussions of technology to prevent desertification using interpolyelectrolyte complexes; theoretical review of the study on interpolyelectrolyte reactions with natural polymers (proteins, DNA, polysaccharides) and their application in biology, medicine, biotechnology and in solving environmental issues; discussion of a global environmental problem of our time; research findings of foreign and domestic studies of methods for treating soils with interpolyelectrolyte complexes; consideration of biopolymers and interpolyelectrolyte complexes application in agriculture to improve the overall soil fertility and physiological processes of plants and microbiota. The monograph provides results of our own research on the synthesis and use of interpolyelectrolyte complexes with of chitosan, gellan, sodium alginate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose for structuring soils in the dry steppe zone of the East Kazakhstan.
