When range condition deteriorates, the Call and mid-grasses <br />decrease, blue grama, sand dropsecd and fortis increase and production <br />drops. Undesirable weeds and annuals invade [hc site as range condition <br />becomes poorer. <br />i•fanagement of vr.gctaCion on this soil should be based on taking half <br />and leaving half oL thr_ total annual production. Seeding is only <br />advisable on areas large enough co prepare a sczdbcd on or interseed <br />with an intcrseeder. <br />i <br /> <br />Switchcrass; sand bluestcm, sand reedgrass.; sidcnats grama, little <br />binesCCm, blue grama, pubescent whcatgrriss and intcrutediatc wbcaC- <br />:: grass are suitable for seeding.
