Abstract

Soil erosion, driven by natural and human factors, depletes soil fertility, reduces agricultural yields, and disrupts ecosystems. Hydroseeding offers a sustainable solution by spraying a slurry of seeds, mulch, water, and tackifiers onto soil, promoting rapid vegetation growth and soil stabilization. This eco-friendly technique enhances seed-soil contact, retains moisture, and ensures uniform germination. Widely used for erosion control, revegetation, urban greening, and land reclamation, hydroseeding supports biodiversity and sustainable land management, making it a cost-effective and versatile tool for restoring degraded landscapes.
