Plants selected for seeding depend on management objectives. Many grasses are better suited for
grazing and others are more suited for hay production or intense management. Often, mixtures of
native and/or introduced species are seeded together, partly as an attempt to simulate natural
conditions.
Using a mixture is helpful because most areas to be planted will have variations within the soil types,
moisture conditions and slopes or grades. Each species in a mixture is adapted better than other species
to certain site characteristics. For instance, variation in rooting habits of species in the mixture allows for
more efficient use of moisture and nutrients from the various soil depths. Also, the mixture usually
extends the grazing season because each species varies slightly in its period of lush growth and
dormancy. Finally, a mixture provides a varied diet that is more desirable to livestock and wildlife.
Under certain conditions, a pure stand of a single species is more desirable. Species low in palatability
and needing special management, or species requiring intensive management, should be planted alone
as a monoculture.
Use seed of known quality. Know the germination and purity of the seed, since seeding rates are based
on pure live seed (PLS).
Pure Live Seed = (% Germination+ % Dormant Seed) x %Purity
