<br />1 • I~ <br />Important management concerns in areas of irrigated hay and <br />pasture are controlling soil erosion and application of irrigation <br />water. Seedbed preparation should be on the contour or across the <br />slope where practical. For the efficient application and removal of <br />irrigation water, leveling is needed in sloping areas. Irrigation <br />water needs to be applied at a rate that insures optimum production <br />without increasing deep percolation, runoff, and erosion. Fertilizer <br />is needed to 'insure optimum growth of grasses and legumes. If <br />properly managed, this unit can produce 3.5 tans of irrigated alfalfa <br />hay per acre. <br />This unit is well suited to homesite development. <br />This map unit is in capability subclasses IIIe, irrigated, and <br />u <br />u <br />IVe, nonirrigated. It is in the Loamv Foothill N202 range site. <br />l~ ~' <br />
