Straw mulch proved more effective in erosion control than re-claimed paper mulch in East Texas. Straw mulch anchored by asphalt or latex was significantly superior to a resin anchored straw mulch. There was no significant difference of Bermuda grass seedlings per square foot with latex or asphalt anchors. Bermuda grass and weeping lovegrass were th
