. Seed Mix #8 has been developed to provide a mix of species that are compatible with the adjacent irrigated <br />pasture type, has a high level of utility, and will provide long term protection of the resource. <br />The above varieties are preferred but do not constitute the only available adapted varieties. Seed availability <br />problems associated with the above recommended varieties will require that the next best adapted variety or <br />native/common types be used. The alternate selections will be made from regional sources. <br />Species selection criteria centered on species that are droughttolerant, reasonably productive under semi-arid <br />conditions, able to provide site stabilization, able to withstand grazing pressure, and have utility for livestock <br />and wildlife. The seed variety and mixture is commonly used in this region and was reviewed by the local Soil <br />Conservation Service. <br />All species are introduced, however these are the best available species for the postmine land use and are <br />necessary and desirable to achieve the intended use. <br />Seed Mix #8 - Dryland Pasture <br />Drilled Rate <br />Species Cultivar Ibs.of PLS/Acre" <br />Fairway Crested Wheatgrass Ephriam 0.6 <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass Luna 1.8 <br />Russian Wildrye Bozoisky 1.0 <br />*RS Wheatgrass Newhy 0.6 <br />Alfalfa Spreador 2 0_4 <br />5.7 <br />*If RS Wheatgrass is not available, increase Pubescent Wheatgrass by 1.0 pound/acres. <br />**Broadcast rate is double the drilled rate <br />Site Variation Adaptability of Seed Mix 8: <br />Dry Sites: All species. <br />Moist Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Medicago. <br />Cool Season: Agropyron, Elyrnus,. <br />Warm Season: Medicago. <br />Fine Textured Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Elyrnus, Medicago. <br />Coarse Textured Sites: All species except Medicago. <br />• <br />(xevisea a/z~/oo) 2.05.4~2)(e)-10 <br />
