Drills: Proper seeding equipment should be used on critical areas. If <br /> native grasses are recommended, a grams drill should also be recommended. <br /> The drill should be equipped with a satisfactory feeding mechanism, agita— <br /> tor, double disk furrow openers and packer wheels. Depending upon the <br /> seeding recommendation, it may be necessary to have separate boxes for <br /> fluffy grasses, small seeded grasses and for legumes. <br /> 2.) Hydraulic Equipment: This is an acceptable method but should ordinarily <br /> be restricted to areas inaccessible to drills. If hydromulch is to be <br /> applied, the seed should be applied in a separate operation prior to mulch— <br /> ing. The exception to this will be irrigated areas. <br /> 3.) Hand Application: Broadcast seeding by hand or a manually operated seeder <br /> is acceptable on small area and areas not accessible to drills. Seed will <br /> be covered 1/4" to 1/2" deep by raking or harrowing. <br /> Seed in May or June. <br /> Species Required * of species Acres Total # <br /> Rates/Acre in mixture <br /> Sand bluestem 1 .0 20 1 3.20 <br /> Little bluestem 7.0 20 1 1.40 <br /> Sand reedgrass 6.5 30 1 13.0 <br /> Blue grama 2.0 10 1 0.20 <br /> Side-oats grams 9.0 20 1 1.80 <br /> * All rates given on Pure Live Seed (PLS) basis. <br /> PLS lbs. _ (Germination %) (Purity 96) (Bulk lbs.) <br /> Bulk lbs.
