4 - 342 <br />Refer to the Colorado Tree/Shrub <br />Establishment, 612 Conservation Practice <br />Standard for planning criteria and specification <br />requirements. <br />Supplemental Water for Plant Establishment <br />In low rainfall areas where water is available and <br />rapid establishment is needed, irrigate newly <br />seeded areas during the first growing season <br />when rainfall is not adequate for plant <br />development. Water should be applied at <br />approximately one week intervals at a rate of <br />0.75 to 1.0 inches per application. <br />Apply water to woody transplants at the time of <br />planting, followed by an application of at least <br />one gallon per week applied to the soil at the <br />base of the plant for the first growing season. <br />Protection of Plantings <br />Protect planted sites from trampling, grazing, <br />rodents and browsing animals until plants are <br />well established. In heavy use areas, protect <br />critical area plantings with fencing or barriers. <br />OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE <br />Use of the area shall be managed as long as <br />necessary to stabilize the site and achieve the <br />intended purpose. <br />Control or exclude pests that will interfere with <br />the timely establishment of vegetation. <br />Inspections, reseeding or replanting, fertilization <br />and pest control may be needed to insure that <br />this practice functions as intended throughout its <br />expected life. <br />REFERENCES <br />Colorado Field Office Technical Guide, Section <br />IV.
