Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to "identify alternative and novel vegetation for use in low-maintenance utility areas...that establish quickly, have excellent winter persistence and require little supplemental maintenance...for the upper cool-humid region of the United states"; and to "quantify sediment losses from sloped areas during seedling establishment." Explains that "there are increasing environmental concerns regarding the amounts of sediments, nutrients, and pesticides that are being found in...surface waters." Describes the experimental procedures, stating that "a starter fertilizer was applied at seeding at a rate of 74 kg [kilograms] ha-1 to enhance germination and establishment. Plots were not supplementally irrigated following the initial establishment period (60-90 days)." Reports that, "as expected, the slowest species to establish for the 15 May [2005] seeding were some of the warm-season species including Zoysiagrass, Little bluestem, and Switchgrass." Concludes that "for the sandy soil, runoff losses were greater for the bare plots with erosion control than the tall fescue with erosion control for only run 3."
