1 PERENNIAL SPECIES MAY BE USED AS A TEMPORARY COVER, ESPECIALLY IF THE AREA TO BE
SEEDED WILL REMAIN IDLE FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR.
2 SEEDING DONE OUTSIDE THE OPTIMUM SEEDING DATES INCREASES THE CHANCES OF SEEDING FAILURE. DATES MAY
BE EXTENDED OR SHORTENED BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
SITE WITHIN THE STATE.
NOTES
MULCH ALONE IS AN ACCEPTABLE TEMPORARY COVER AND MAY BE USED IN LIEU OF TEMPORARY
SEEDING, PROVIDED THAT IT IS APPROPRIATELY ANCHORED.
A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR FERTILIZER, SEED, AND MULCH TO WASH EXISTS ON STEEP BANKS, CUTS,
AND IN CHANNELS AND AREAS OF CONCENTRATED FLOW.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
1. TEST SOIL TO DETERMINE PH AND NUTRIENT LEVELS.
2. APPLY SOIL AMENDMENTS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SOIL TEST. IF TESTING IS NOT DONE, APPLY 400 TO 600
POUNDS PER ACRE OF 12-12-12 ANALYSIS FERTILIZER, OR EQUIVALENT.
3. WORK THE SOIL AMENDMENTS INTO THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF THE SOIL WITH
A DISK OR RAKE OPERATED ACROSS THE SLOPE.
SEEDING
1. SELECT A SEED SPECIES OR AN APPROPRIATE SEED MIXTURE AND APPLICATION RATE FROM TABLE 1.
2. APPLY SEED UNIFORMLY WITH A DRILL OR CULTIPACKER SEEDER OR BY BROADCASTING. PLANT OR COVER SEED TO
THE DEPTH SHOWN IN TABLE 1.
NOTES
1. IF DRILLING OR BROADCASTING THE SEED, ENSURE GOOD SEED-TO-SOIL CONTACT BY FIRMING THE SEEDBED WITH A
ROLLER OR CULTIPACKER AFTER COMPLETING SEEDING OPERATIONS.
2. DAILY SEEDING WHEN THE SOIL IS MOIST IS USUALLY MOST EFFECTIVE.
3. IF SEEDING IS DONE WITH A HYDROSEEDER, FERTILIZER AND MULCH CAN BE APPLIED WITH THE SEED IN A SLURRY
MIXTURE.
3. APPLY MULCH AND ANCHOR IT IN PLACE.
MAINTENANCE
_ INSPECT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH RAIN EVENT AND AT LEAST ONCE EVERY SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS.
_ CHECK FOR EROSION OR MOVEMENT OF MULCH AND REPAIR IMMEDIATELY.
_ MONITOR FOR EROSION DAMAGE AND ADEQUATE COVER (80 PERCENT DENSITY); RESEED, FERTILIZE, AND APPLY
MULCH WHERE NECESSARY.
_ IF NITROGEN DEFICIENCY IS APPARENT, TOP-DRESS FALL SEEDED WHEAT OR RYE SEEDING WITH 50 POUNDS PER
ACRE OF NITROGEN IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH.

TEMPORARY SEED
TABLE 1. TEMPORARY SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS
NOTES
1.AN OAT OR WHEAT COMPANION OR NURSE CROP MAY BE USED WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE
PERMANENT SEEDING MIXTURES, AT THE FOLLOWING RATES:
1.A.SPRING OATS - ONE-FOURTH TO THREE-FOURTHS BUSHEL PER ACRE
1.B.WHEAT - NO MORE THAN ONE-HALF BUSHEL PER ACRE
2.A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR FERTILIZER, SEED, AND MULCH TO WASH EXISTS ON STEEP BANKS,
CUTS, AND IN CHANNELS AND AREAS OF CONCENTRATED
INSTALLATION
1.GRADE THE SITE TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE DRAINAGE.
2.ADD TOPSOIL OR COMPOST MULCH TO ACHIEVE NEEDED DEPTH FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF
VEGETATION. (COMPOST MATERIAL MAY BE ADDED TO IMPROVE SOIL MOISTURE HOLDING
CAPACITY, SOIL FRIABILITY, AND NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY.)
SEEDBED PREPARATION
1.TEST SOIL TO DETERMINE PH AND NUTRIENT LEVELS.
2.APPLY SOIL AMENDMENTS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SOIL TEST AND WORK INTO THE
UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF SOIL. IF TESTING IS NOT DONE, APPLY 400 TO 600
POUNDS PER ACRE OF 12-12-12 ANALYSIS FERTILIZER, OR EQUIVALENT.
3.TILL THE SOIL TO OBTAIN A UNIFORM SEEDBED. USE A DISK OR RAKE, OPERATED ACROSS
THE SLOPE, TO WORK THE SOIL AMENDMENTS INTO THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF
THE SOIL.
SEEDING
OPTIMUM SEEDING DATES ARE MARCH 1 TO MAY 10 AND AUGUST 10 TO SEPTEMBER 30.
PERMANENT SEEDING DONE BETWEEN MAY 10 AND AUGUST 10 MAY NEED TO BE IRRIGATED.
SEEDING OUTSIDE OR BEYOND OPTIMUM SEEDING DATES IS STILL POSSIBLE WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT RESEEDING OR OVERSEEDING MAY BE REQUIRED IF ADEQUATE
SURFACE COVER IS NOT ACHIEVED. RESEEDING OR OVERSEEDING CAN BE EASILY
ACCOMPLISHED IF THE SOIL SURFACE REMAINS WELL PROTECTED WITH MULCH.
1.SELECT A SEEDING MIXTURE AND RATE FROM TABLE 1. SELECT SEED MIXTURE BASED ON
SITE CONDITIONS, SOIL PH, INTENDED LAND USE, AND EXPECTED LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE.
2.APPLY SEED UNIFORMLY WITH A DRILL OR CULTIPACKER SEEDER OR BY BROADCASTING.
PLANT OR COVER THE SEED TO A DEPTH OF ONE-FOURTH TO ONE-HALF INCH. IF DRILLING
OR BROADCASTING THE SEED, ENSURE GOOD SEED-TO-SOIL CONTACT BY FIRMING THE
SEEDBED WITH A ROLLER OR CULTIPACKER AFTER COMPLETING SEEDING OPERATIONS.
(IF SEEDING IS DONE WITH A HYDROSEEDER, FERTILIZER AND MULCH CAN BE APPLIED
WITH THE SEED IN A SLURRY MIXTURE.)
3.MULCH ALL SEEDED AREAS AND USE APPROPRIATE METHODS TO ANCHOR THE MULCH IN
PLACE. CONSIDER USING EROSION CONTROL BLANKETS ON SLOPING AREAS AND
CONVEYANCE CHANNELS
MAINTENANCE
1.INSPECT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH RAIN EVENT AND AT LEAST ONCE EVERY SEVEN
CALENDAR DAYS UNTIL THE VEGETATION IS SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED.
2.CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUCCESSFUL STAND INCLUDE VIGOROUS DARK GREEN OR
BLUISHGREEN SEEDLINGS WITH A UNIFORM VEGETATIVE COVER DENSITY OF 90 PERCENT
OR MORE.
3.CHECK FOR EROSION OR MOVEMENT OF MULCH.
4.REPAIR DAMAGED, BARE, GULLIED, OR SPARSELY VEGETATED AREAS AND THEN
FERTILIZE, RESEED, AND APPLY AND ANCHOR MULCH.
5.IF PLANT COVER IS SPARSE OR PATCHY, EVALUATE THE PLANT MATERIALS CHOSEN, SOIL
FERTILITY, MOISTURE CONDITION, AND MULCH APPLICATION; REPAIR AFFECTED AREAS
EITHER BY OVERSEEDING OR PREPARING A NEW SEEDBED AND RESEEDING. APPLY AND
ANCHOR MULCH ON THE NEWLY SEEDED AREAS.
6.IF VEGETATION FAILS TO GROW, CONSIDER SOIL TESTING TO DETERMINE SOIL PH OR
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY PROBLEMS. (CONTACT YOUR SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION
DISTRICT OR COOPERATIVE EXTENSION OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE.)
7.IF ADDITIONAL FERTILIZATION IS NEEDED TO GET A SATISFACTORY STAND, DO SO
ACCORDING TO SOIL TEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
8.ADD FERTILIZER THE FOLLOWING GROWING SEASON. FERTILIZE ACCORDING TO SOIL TEST
RECOMMENDATIONS.
9.FERTILIZE TURF AREAS ANNUALLY. APPLY FERTILIZER IN A SPLIT APPLICATION. FOR
COOL-SEASON GRASSES, APPLY ONE-HALF OF THE FERTILIZER IN LATE SPRING AND
ONE HALF IN EARLY FALL. FOR WARM-SEASON GRASSES, APPLY ONE-THIRD IN EARLY
SPRING, ONE-THIRD IN LATE SPRING, AND THE REMAINING ONE-THIRD IN MIDDLE SUMMER.
TABLE 1. PERMANENT SEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS
THIS TABLE PROVIDES SEVERAL SEED MIXTURE OPTIONS. ADDITIONAL SEED MIXTURES ARE
AVAILABLE COMMERCIALLY. WHEN SELECTING A MIXTURE, CONSIDER INTENDED LAND USE
AND SITE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SOIL PROPERTIES (E.G., SOIL PH AND DRAINAGE), SLOPE
ASPECT, AND THE TOLERANCE OF EACH SPECIES TO SHADE AND DROUGHT.
