Current cover percent is: 10 to 300 <br />2. Topsoil depth on site averages: 10 to 12 inches <br />3. Seeding dates recommended: October 15 to May 1 <br />4. Fertilizer, if needed: Phosphate @ 40 lb/ac and nitrogen @ <br />40 lb/ac. <br />5. Seeding recommendation for area: <br />Non-irrigated grass seed recommendation <br />Seed Variety Lbs- pls/ac. <br />Wildrye (Dahurian) 2.00 <br />Intermediate Wheatgrass (Oahe) 2.00 <br />Smooth Brome (Lincoln) 2.00 <br />Perennial Ryegrass (Tetrploid) 1.00 <br />Slender Wheatgrass (Revenue) 1.00 <br />Crested Wheatgrass (Hycrest) 1.00 <br />Orchardgrass (Paiute) 1.00 <br /> 10.00 <br />This seed mix is a combination of native grasses and forbs <br />that has proven successful on other sites in the vicinity of this <br />mine. This is a standard pasture mix available from Arkansas <br />Valley Seed called Dryland Pasture Mix costing $1.59/lb-pls for <br />amounts of 50#'s or more. This mix will provide approximately <br />44.6 seeds/sq-ft/acre when drilled and will be doubled if broad- <br />cast. <br />A clean straw mulch consisting of 2,000 lbs per acres will <br />be crimped into the seedbed once the seeding is complete. This <br />site has no special or unique characteristics with mostly grass <br />and forbs covering the area. Average annual production is <br />approximately 500 pounds per acre. The plant community is 60 <br />percent grasses and 40 percent forbs, weeds and brush. <br />The species of vegetation found on the site are Sideoats <br />grama, Little bluestem, Needleandthread, Sand dropseed, Indian <br />ricegrass, Sand saltbrush and Yucca.
