Effect of seeding and site preparation practices on the establishment of sericea (Lespedeza cuneata). Annual report, January 1, 1983-December 31, 1983

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5480524
Experimental plots were located on the Savannah River Project to investigate methods of establishing legumes in areas to be regenerated to pine. The objective was to eliminate the need for fertilization. Sericea (Lespedeza cuneata) was the primary species utilized. Seed were sown on a wide range of soils from droughty deep sands to poorly drained loams. It was concluded that sowing seed early, on prepared seedbeds with exposed mineral soil, produced the best results. (ACR)
