Table 3-5. Seed Mixes Applied on Areas <br />ft 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 />separately by the seed dealer. All seeding rates are presented as drilled rates. <br />Seed Mix 1 - Large Seed Component <br />Species <br />Drilled Rate <br />Scientific Name <br />-J <br />Common Name <br />PLS lbs /Ac <br />Agropyron dasystachyum <br />Y. dasystachyum <br />Thickspike Wheatgrass <br />2.00 <br />Agropyron intermedium <br />Intermediate Wheatgrass <br />1.00 <br />Agropyron dasystachyum <br />Y. riparium <br />Streambank Wheatgrass <br />1.00 <br />Agropyron smithii <br />Western Wheatgrass <br />2.00 <br />Agropyron inerme <br />Beardless Bluebunch Wheatgrass <br />2.00 <br />Agropyron trachycaulum <br />Slender Wheatgrass <br />2.00 <br />Ceratochloa marginat <br />Mountain Brome <br />2.00 <br />Dactylis alomersta <br />Orchardgrass <br />0.50 <br />Elymus cinereus <br />Basin Wildrye <br />1.00 <br />Elymus iunceus <br />Russian Wildrye <br />1.00 <br />Festuca ovina v. ovine <br />Sheep Fescue <br />0.50 <br />Stine viridula <br />Green Needlegrass <br />2.00 <br />Cercocarous lediftoius <br />Curlleaf Mountain Mahogany <br />0.10 <br />Purshia tridentata <br />Antelope Bitterbrush <br />0.20 <br />Atriplex canescens <br />Fourwing Saltbush <br />0.13 <br />Ceratoides Janata <br />Winterfat <br />0.07 <br />Rhus tritobata <br />Skunkbush Sumac <br />0.08 <br />Nedysarum boreale <br />Utah Sweetvetch <br />0.05 <br />Penstemon strictus <br />Rocky Mountain Penstemon <br />0.05 <br />Linum lewisii <br />Lewis Flax <br />0.05 <br />Total Large Seed <br />17.73 PLS lbs /Ac <br />Seed Mix 1 - Small Seed <br />Component <br />Phleum pratense <br />Timothy <br />0.10 <br />Poa ampla <br />Big Bluegrass <br />0.50 <br />Poa compressa <br />Canada Bluegrass <br />0.10 <br />Astragatus titer <br />Cicer Milkvetch <br />1.00 <br />Medicago sativa <br />Alfalfa <br />0.50 <br />Melitotus officinalis <br />Yellow Sweetclover <br />0.50 <br />Achiltea lanulosa <br />Western Yarrow <br />0.05 <br />3 -5 <br />
