2 Great Basin Research Center Interagency facility maintained in Ephraim since 1955 Programs Research Habitat Improvement Plant materials Rangeland seed warehouse Habitat monitoring
3 Restoring Rangeland Resources A. Perry Plummer Donald R. Christensen Stephen B. Monsen 1968 out of print
4 Restoring Rangeland Resources Stephen B. Monsen Richard Stevens Nancy L. Shaw
5 Sagebrush Seed Storage Cold storage to maintain viability (35-38 F) Dehumidification (10-15%)
6 Seed Quality and Identification Federal and State certification standards Certified vs. non-certified Source Identified Failing to use the plants adapted to the eco-type can result in poor seeding success.
7 Special Seed Needs Mountain big sagebrush-source Identified Southwest Washington County This collection must be Source Identified through the Utah Crop Improvement Association as low elevation Mountain Big Sagebrush.
8 Purity Purity can effect how the seed is planted. Low purity can stop flow, especially in airplanes UDWR standard 30% pure minimum PLS 24% minimum
9 Project Planning Advanced proactive restoration project planning allows for seed purchasing of site adapted seed. Utah Watershed Restoration Initiative Buying early and in larger quantities generally brings lower prices. Identifying needs for seed early through the project planning process allows for this.
10 Seedbed Preparation & Seeding Removal of competition Fall & winter Seed on top of snow Recommended Seeding rates lb.pls/ac Depth: Surface 3mm deep Surface compaction can help
11 Fire Seedbed Preparation and Controlling Competition Fire Rehabilitation Prescribed fire burning off undesirable weeds prior to seeding Herbicides Plateau Roundup
12 Seedbed Preparation Equipment Bullhog (Masticator/Shredder) Chain Pipe harrow Aerator Drill
13 Seeding Equipment Rangeland Drill Truax Rough Rider Drill Pulled Tubes to Broadcast Seed
