However, in order to insure the <br />• establishment of a long-lasting vegetative cover, Cotter Cori oration <br />will broadcast nitrogen fertilizer at a rate of 30 pounds per acre <br />during the early spring of the second and third years. <br />Cotter Corporation will engage in the judicious applicai:ion of the <br />herbicide, Amitrole, as the primary method of weed control during <br />the first year.
