r <br /> Sub-project D - 1978 grass and forbs direct seeded. <br /> Methods <br /> Thirteen grass species and 3 forb species were hand seeded June 22, 1978 on <br /> the southwest tailing pond slope. The same proceedure were used as for <br /> sub-project B on the top area. Plots were seeded across the slope in 20 <br /> foot rows. These plots were water and fertilized along with sub-project <br /> C. <br /> Results and Discussion <br /> Fifteen of the sixteen species had some gerimation the first season. Table <br /> 1 gives a summary of evaluation for stand and vigor. Species showing <br /> potential adaptation are: Arriba and Rosana, western wheatgrass; Sodar, <br /> streambank wheatgrass and Magnar, basin wildrye. Arriba has been <br /> exceptional in spreading by long vigorous rhizomes. All of the above four <br /> species have set seed at this location. However, basin wildrye has not <br /> spread from original stands. Initially A. elongatun and A. intermedium had <br /> good stand, but had servere winter-kill after three years. This subproject <br /> will continue and be evaluated in 1982. <br />
