Permanent Ground Cover

> Forage > Permanent Ground Cover


Areas of use	freshly disturbed ground where topsoil has been removed, washouts and waterways ditches and berms, roadsides and meridians, high traffic areas soils with fertility or salinity problems, marginal soils

Useful for	habitat for wildlife, food resource for animals - wild and domestic erosion control - water and wind, root system to anchor soil profile aesthetic - beautification, clean air - dust control and oxygen release

Selection of characteristics suitable for your needs	sod forming (Creeping Red Fescue, Streambank Wheatgrass) drought tolerance (Crested Wheatgrass, Sheeps and Hard Fescue) salinity (Slender and Tall Wheatgrass) water logged and flooding (Reed Canary Grass, Creeping Foxtail) rapid establishment (Dahurian Wild Rye, Annual Ryegrass) longevity and persistence (Crested Wheatgrass, Hard Fescue)

Why use a mixture	varied growth patterns, legumes provide nitrogen for the grass control more than one problem, different root systems compliment

Prairie Pride is a mixture made of native species that are dominant on the prairies. It is designed for areas where it is desirable to establish a permanent ground cover with native grass. Prairie Pride is a suitable choice for a wide spectrum of conditions as it is tolerant to drought, salinity and alkalinity. Composition: 30% western wheatgrass, 25% northern wheatgrass, 25% slender wheatgrass and 20% green needle grass. Recommended seeding rate: 8 Ibs. to 12 Ibs./ac., depending on field conditions.
