Application rates are for <br />pure, live seed (PLS). Seed tags will be submitted to the BLM Field Manager within 30 <br />days of seeding. <br />Application Rate <br />S ecies lbs./Acre PLS <br />Arriba Western wheatgrass 2.5 <br />Sodar Streambank wheatgrass 1.8 <br />Nordan Crested wheatgrass 1.5 <br />Paloma Indian ricegrass 2.0 <br />Sherman Big bluegrass 0.5 <br />Lodorm Green needlegrass 0.5 <br />Delar Small burnet 1.5 <br />Rincon or Native Fourwing Saltbush 2_0 <br />Total PLS/Acre 12.3 lbs. <br />Notes: <br />Prepare seedbed by contour cultivating four to six inches deep.
