Seed Mix #6 - Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland. Poorly - Drained Sites
Note: Birdsfoot trefoil seed must be inoculated with a specific strain of Rhizobium bacteria.
Seed Mix #6 - Recommended Varieties
Creeping foxtail - Garrison
Birdsfoot trefoil - Empire (tretana, Carroll, Mackinaw)`
For extreme saturated soils: Substitute Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) for Red
Top Grass and Rabbitfoot Grass (Polypogon nonspeliensis) for Timothy. Same seed rate.
4.4. Seeding Procedures - Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland
The optimum seeding season for establishment of irrigated pasture is during the spring as early
as soil moisture conditions allow for tillage and seeding operations. As a result of irrigation,
seeding may be carried out as late as June 15. This will allow for a 100 -120 day growing season,
enough time to establish an adequate stand capable of over - wintering. During initial seeding of
all reclaimed irrigated pasturelands (I P) with the permanent seed mix, an annual companion grain
cover crop of oats or barley will be used at the rate of 20 Ibs per acre. This will provide rapid
growth so little topsoil is lost to erosion while at the same time providing some nitrogen and
organic matter to the soil. This practice will help rejuvenate soils that have been in stockpiles for
long periods of time. By implementing this practice, the practice of adding manure to these soils
will not be implemented.
At times, the size or shape of the retopsoiled areas and shape of the reclaimed area in relation
to a management unit may be insufficient to warrant establishment of the perennial irrigated
