Eecomended seed species, varieties and seeding rates for a critical area <br />reseeding project based on 40 PLSk per square foot are as follows: <br />~'-~ sPSCZES veal~rr % rev rux~as ~ ae~ PEE aces <br />Yeetera Wheat Arriba ~ 40 6.1~ lbs. <br />B1ne Graaa Covington 2$ 0.75 lbs. - <br />Arizona Fescue Bedoado 20 0.9 lbs. <br />Slender Yheat Priaar 15 1.65 lbs. <br />9.7 lbs./ac.PLS <br />+ PIS (Pure Live Seed = 96 Purity Jc 96 Gerninatioa. In order to get 9.7 lbs. of <br />pure live seed,. 11 to 12 lbs. of.bullc quantity say have to be purchased. <br />Aa I am not ears exactly what-the-acinnge involved ie,-I have, indicated the-- <br />eeedingsate-on a-pezacre.basis .oaly._ I am seaunQng_that-.the.lnfonation-ynn_xant._. <br />ie based on requirements fora 110 permit which would be lees than 10 acres. dll <br />you need to do is to multiply the above figure by how ever salty acres are involved <br />to get the actual amount of seed for the entire fob. <br />After seeding, the area should be.tertilized at the rate of Iy0 lbs of H and.l~0 lbs. <br />_~ of P per acre. It xould be beneficial to have the-soil teeted to be 'sure of what the - <br />inquired rates should be but if this is not done, a aaintenance application of !y0 lbe <br />each should be sufficient. <br />It will aleo~ba aeceesary, after seeding; to provide sole-kind rof mulch-to-stabilize --- <br />the soil. I have enclosed a oopy of our stnndarde sad specifications for you to <br />review. Probably the cost inezpsnsive and readily available In this area would be <br />straw or hay mulch at the rate of two(2~ tons per acre. If this is used, the mulch <br />should be eriaped into the eoil to prevent blowing. <br />It is important that critical area tx+hataente be protected from people, vehicles <br />sad livestock until they have had the opportunity to become well established. <br />If I can be of any further aesistaace to you in this matteer, please contact DlY <br />office.
