Synopsis Although triphenylsulfonium chloride (TPS‐Cl) produced only small changes in water stable aggregation and hydraulic conductivity, it reduced the modulus of rupture values appreciably on all soils tested. Modulus of rupture values obtained from soils treated with TPS‐Cl were equal to or lower than those obtained from soils treated with ferric sulfate or VAMA.
