. Table 3-5. Seed Mixes Applied on Areas <br />Revegetat ed in 1985 <br />Two seed mixes were applietl on reclaimed areas in 1985. Seed mix 1 was used on upland <br />drier sites and south facing exposures. Seed mix 2 was used in drainages or north facing <br />exposures. Up to 25 percent of the reclaimed areas were seeded with seed mix 2, while <br />the majority of the area was seeded with seed mix 1. <br />A new drill seeder based on the Laird rangeland drill was manufactured for Peabody in <br />1985. The drill was constructed with two seed boxes, one for large seed and one for <br />small seed. This allowed the drilling of the large seed and broadcasting of the smaller <br />seed. Seed mixes sere thus split into large seed and small seetl components antl banged <br />seperately by the seed dealer. All seetlinq rates are presented as drilled rates. <br />Seed hlix 1 - La rqe Seed Component <br /> 5 ep rtes Drilled Rate <br /> Scientific Name Common tJame PLS 165/Ac <br /> Aqropyron dasv stachyum v. dasystachyum Th irks pike Wheatgrass 2.00 <br /> Aqropyron intermedium Intermediate 4lheatgrass 1,00 <br /> Aqropyron dasvstachyum v, ri parium Streambank Wheatgrass 1.00 <br /> Aqropyron smithii 4lestern Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />• Aoropyron inerme Beardless Bl uebu nrh VVheatgra ss 2.00 <br /> Aoropyron trachycaulum Slender Wheatgrass 2.00 <br /> Ceratochloa marginate Mountain Brame 2.D0 <br /> Dac tylis glomerate Orchardgrass 0.50 <br /> Elymus cinereus Basin Wildrye 1.00 <br /> Elymus 'un~ teus Russian Wildrye 1.00 <br /> Fest uca ovine v. ov ina Sheep Fesr ue 0.50 <br /> Stipa viridula Green fJeedlegrass 2.00 <br /> Cerr ocarpus ledifloi us Curlleaf Mountain Flahogany 0.10 <br /> Purshia tridentate Antelope Bitterbrush 0.20 <br /> Atri plex canesrens Fourwi ng Sal tbush 0.13 <br /> Ceratoides Janata Wi nterf at 0.07 <br /> Rhus trilobata Sk unkbu sh Sumac 0.08 <br /> Medysarum boreale Utah S,veetvetch 0.05 <br /> P enstemon st rictus Rocky Mountain Penstemon 0.05 <br /> Linum lewisii Lewis Flax 0.05 <br /> Total La rqe Seetl 17.73 PLS lbs/Ac <br /> Seed Mix 1 - Small See d Component <br /> Phleum pracense timothy 0.10 <br /> Pga ample Liig Ul ucgras5 0.50 <br /> Poa rompressa Canada Ul ucgras5 0.10 <br /> Astragalus ricer Lirgr Milkve [t'h I.DO <br />• Fled is ago sett va <br />11e1 ilotu5 off icinalis AIfa11a <br />Yellow Twee [clgvrr 0.50 <br />O,SG <br /> Achillea lanulosa 'Nest crn r,,rrnw 0.05 <br />1-5 <br />
