If soils show a <br />low nitrogen fertility, an application of 30 -60 pounds /acre of available nitrogen should be adequate <br />for establishment (Ensign 1975). Phosphorus is beneficial both to the establishment of new <br />seedlings and the established legume component. Phosphorus rates will be determined on the <br />basis of the soil test. <br />Initial applications, made prior to seeding, will be incorporated. Annual applications of fertilizer will <br />be carried out and will be based on soil tests and achieving the desired production goals. <br />Two irrigated pasture mixes and one irrigated alfalfa hayland mix have been developed in order to <br />establish the irrigated pasture or hayland types on the range of site conditions that may be <br />encountered in the areas to be reclaimed. Seed Mix #5 has been developed for upland, <br />well - drained sites, while Seed Mix #6 has been developed for lowland areas or other areas that <br />may be poorly drained. Seed Mix #7 is the irrigated alfalfa hayland mix. The irrigated pasture <br />mixes have a fair range of adaptability for drier or wetter sites that may develop in the principal <br />areas where the mixes are used. <br />Seed Mix #2 - Temporary Reclamation - less than one year of cover, reclaimed land waiting <br />for permanent planting <br />S eciesCommon Name Seeding Rate <br />1.
