* Lime = Agricultural lime in pounds of effective neutralizing material (ENM). Lime test from source used will show pounds

ENM per ton of material. To calculate total material needed divide lime requirement by test value. Example: ENM requirement

1000 lbs. Source test value 350. 1000/350=2.9 tons of ag lime needed to supply 1000 ENM.

Soil Test Recommendations

Apply blanket rates on constructed fills and finished grades

Blanket rates for constructed fills pH from soil test results:

Timing of Lime Application - Soil pH needs to be corrected before attempting to establish legumes. For seeding legumes AND of mixes containing legumes lime will be applied 3 to 6 months prior to planting

Seeding Situation

Seedbed Preparation none in addition to site preparation

Seed Placement

No-till drilling or planting Interseeding grasses or grasses and legumes into existing vegetation

Site Preparation

When no-tilling into existing vegetation to improve diversity or thicken the stand, remove some of the residue/cover prior to planting. This may be accomplished by grazing, baling, shredding, prescribed burning or herbicides. If chemical burndown of existing cover will be used, 1 application will be used to weaken the existing stand and reduce competition.

5/ PLS = Pure Live Seed. Per cent of live seed in a bag of seed is calculated from the % of "pure" seed multiplied by the % germination plus the % "hard" in a seed bag. Example: seed tag reads: 88% purity, 60% germination, 10 % dormant or hard seed. The math would be .88 X .70 (.60 + .10) = .616 or 62% Pure Live Seed. If this is a tag from a 50 lb. bag of material, 31 lbs. (.616 X 50) is seed that is viable and should germinate.

1/ These species are annual species; plant early in the growing season to allow seedset to occur. Check to make sure that

/3 minimum of 9 species with no single forb species to exceed 15% or comprise less than 1% of the forb mix; with annual biennial forbs (combined) not to exceed 10% of the forb mix. See the attached list of appropriate species.

Companion Crop – A companion crop may be established prior to or at the same time as a permanent seeding of grass, forbs, and/or legumes. The companion crop will be selected and managed to minimize competition with the permanent seeding. Approved companion crops are:

No companion crop will be used cool season grasses and legumes Aug. 1 - Sep. 15, Dec. 1 - May 31
