Abstract

Introduced single species seedings such as bromegrass, that emphasize erosion control and crop base reduction under old CRP guidelines, usually do not score high enough for enrollment in current CRP signups that emphasize wildlife benefits. Natural Resources Conservation Service Interseeding is the ideal way to improve existing stands of single species grasses on fields already enrolled in CRP. This yields a mixture of grasses and legumes that gives the fullest benefit to wildlife.
