• Table 3-5. Seed Mixes Applied on Areas <br />Revegeta ted 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 /> S ep ties Drilled Rate <br />Scientific Name Common Name PLS lbs/Ac <br />Agropyron dasysta chyum v. dasystachyum Thicks pi ke Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />Agropyron intermedium Intermediate Wheatgrass 1.00 <br />Agropyron dasysta chyum v, riparium Streamba nk Wheatgrass 1.00 <br />Agropyron smithii Western Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />Agropyron inerme Beardless Bl uebunch Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />• <br />Agropyron trachycaulum Slender Wheatgrass 2.00 <br />Ceratochloa marginata Mountain Brome 2.00 <br />Dactylic glomerata Orchardgrass 0.50 <br />Elymus cinereus Basin Wi ldrye 1.00 <br />E1ymu5 'un~ ceus Russian Wildrye 1.00 <br />Festuca ovina v. ovina Sheep Fescue 0.50 <br />Stipa viridula Creen Needlegrass 2.00 <br />Cercocarpus ledifloius Curlleaf Mountain Mahogany 0.10 <br />Purshia tridentate Antelope Bitterbrush 0.20 <br />Atriplex canescens Fourwing Saltbu sh 0.13 <br />Ceratoides Janata Winterfat 0.07 <br />Rhus trilobata Skunkbush Sumac 0.08 <br />Hedysa rum boreale Utah Sweetvetch 0.05 <br />Pen stemon strictus Rocky Mountain Penstemon 0.05 <br />Linum lewisii Lewis Flax 0.05 <br />Total Large Seed 17.73 PLS lbs/Ac <br />Seed Mix 1 - Small Seed Component <br />Phleum pry tense Timothy 0.10 <br />Poa amply Big Bluegrass 0.50 <br />Poa compressa Canada Bluegrass 0.10 <br />Astragalus titer Cicer Mi lkvetch 1.00 <br />Nedicago sativa Alfalfa O.SO <br />Melilotus officinalis Yellow Sweetclover 0.50 <br />• <br />Achilles lanulosa Western Yarrow 0.05 <br />3-5 <br />
