\J <br />'. <br />~.. <br />A3-B (2) <br />of the narrow soil areas, i[ is usually no[ practical. P.e{;ardless of <br />the irrigation method used, water must be applied carefully to avoid <br />eroding the surface layer. <br />Rangeland vegetation of this soil consists of Arizona fescue, <br />• <br />mountain muhly, needle-and-thread, western iaheatgrass, and gambel oak. <br />Proper grazing use coupled with planned grazing systems are the most <br />important practices to maintain quality and quantity of rangeland vege- <br />Cation. Range seeding along with deferrment will speed up revegetation <br />of areas depleted by heavy grazing, cultivation, and other disturbances. <br />Combinations of stockwater development, fencing, and deferred grazing <br />help grazing distribution and maintain range condition. Contour furrowing <br />and pitting are practices that improve water infiltration and reduce run- <br />off and are especially effective on rangeland in poor and fair condition. <br />Wildlife such as elk, mule deer, cottontail rabbit and mourning dove <br />utilize this soil. Irrigated areas provide food while rangeland arca~ <br />provide shelter and nesting areas. "fanagement for wildlife should include <br />protection from overgrazing. <br />This soil is well suited to homesites and urban development. The most <br />limiting soil feature is the moderate permeability that must be considered <br />when constructing leach Fields. <br /> <br />
