For assistance with formulating seed mixtures and rates, contact the local NRCS if on private land, BLM/USFS if <br />on public land or State Land Board if on state land. <br />A. Provide plant name and seeding rate <br />Plant Name Seeding Rate (PLS/acre) <br />Elymus lanceolatus (thickspike wheatgrass) 9.20 <br />Bromus marginatus (mountain brome) 8.00 <br />Festuca ovina (sheep fescue) 6.00 <br />Koeleria cristata (prairie junegrass) 6.00 <br />Leymus cinereus (great basin wildrye) 4.00 <br />Bouteloua gracilis (blue gramma) 4.00 <br />Poa canbyi (canby bluegrass) 2.00 <br />Trifolium fragiferum (strawberry clover) 0.80 <br /> <br /> <br />B. Describe the method for seed bed preparation, and application method for grass/forb seeding: <br />After topsoil is redistributed on each site, all sites are prepared by raking with <br />backhoe or excavator bucket to break up the soil and provide small furrows for <br />trapping and holding seed and moisture. Seed is broadcast after the first frost and <br />befdre the first majoi snow to ensure adequate inuisture for early splilly <br />.natmen.
