plowing will relieve any topsoil compaction. will aid in controlling weedy species, and will leave <br />the site in a temporary toughened condition reducing wind and water erosion potential. Disking <br />will be used to condition soil, break up clods, and control weeds through tillage prior to seeding <br />If annual weeds are a problem. several tillage operations may be required to get adequate <br />control. <br />6 Final Seedbed Preparation - (For sideroll irrigated areas) Harrowing and cultipacking prior to <br />seeding will be conducted as needed in order to provide the smooth, firm seedbed required. In <br />any areas that may be poorly drained, tillage will be timed in order to reduce bogging. excessive <br />compaction and excessive cloddiness caused by tillage when soils are wet The best period for <br />tillage in these areas may be in the early spring prior to the irrigation season (prior to mid - April). <br />For flood irrigated areas) - A plow pulling a standard marker will create furrows of <br />approximately d" to 6" depth on 30" centers. which is standard for the gated pipe used for the <br />flood irrigation. <br />7. Initial Fertilizer Application - Based on the results of the fertility testing, fertilizer of the <br />designed type will be applied at the rate specified from the lab testing The fertilizer is in solid <br />form and will be applied by small tractor with a broadcast spreader. The fertilizer will be applied <br />in the Spring of the same year that the initial fertility testing is done. Ongoing fertility testing after <br />enitiai seeding is described in Section 2.05.4(2)(e) Rovegetavon <br />Wednesday, June 30, 2010. max <br />
