~~. <br />\~ <br />~~ <br />Table 3-B. Seed Mixes Applied on Areas <br />Revegetated in 1985 <br />Two seed mixes were applied 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 were thus split into large seed and small seed components and bagged <br />seperately by the seed dealer. All seeding rates are presented as drilled rates. <br />Seed Mix 1 - Large Seed Component <br />Species <br />nrillnri RTTP <br />Scientific Name Common Name PLS lbs/Ac <br />Agropyron dasystachyum v. dasystachyum Thickspike Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />Agropyron inte rmedium Intermediate Wheatgrass 1.00 <br />Agropyron dasystachyum v, riparium Streamba nk Wheatgrass 1,00 <br />Agropyron smithii Western Wheatgrass 2,00 <br />Agropyron inerme Beardless Bl uebunch Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />Agropyron tra chycaulum Slender Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />Ceratochloa margi na to Mountain Brome 2.00 <br />Dactylic glomerata Orchardgrass 0.50 <br />Elymus cinereus Basin Wildrye 1.00 <br />Elymus ~u~ nceus Russian Wildrye 1,00 <br />Festuca ovina v. ovina Sheep Fescue 0.50 <br />Stipa viridula Creen Needlegrass 2.00 <br />Cercoca rpus ledifloius Curlleaf Mountain Mahogany 0.10 <br />Purshia tridentata Antelope Bitte rbrush 0.20 <br />Atripl ex canescens Fourwi ng Sal tbush 0.13 <br />Ceratoides Janata Winte rfat 0.07 <br />Rhus tril obata Skunkbush Sumac 0.08 <br />Hedysarum bo reale Utah Sweetvetch 0.05 <br />Penstemon strictus Rocky Mountain Penstemon 0.05 <br />Li num lewi sii Lewis Flax 0.05 <br /> Total Large Seed 17.73 PLS lbs/Ac <br />Seed Mix 1 - Small Seed Component <br />Phleum pratense <br />Poa ampla <br />Poa compressa <br />Astragalus titer <br />Medica go sativa <br />Melilotus officinalis <br />Achilles lanulosa <br />Timothy 0.10 <br />Big Bluegrass 0.50 <br />Canada Bluegrass 0.10 <br />Cicer Milkvetch 1.00 <br />Alfalfa 0.50 <br />Yellow Sweetclover 0.50 <br />Western Yarrow 0.05 <br />3-5 <br />
