| Abstract/Contents: | "Small grain stubble seeded in the spring and a grass mixture fall-seeded into that stubble has advantages over use of crimped straw or hay residue as a mulch for wind and water erosion control on mined land. Small grain stubble gives longer lasting protection because it is not susceptible to being blown out. Five metric tons of straw per hectare was crimped in October; only 47 percent of that residue remained in April. In contrast, 94 percent of the stubble redisude remained for the same period. Seedling establishment was 54 plants and 48.6 plants per 3.05-meter transect for the stubble and crimped residue treatments, respectively. Stubble resulted in less temperature fluctuations at shallow soil depths, it also produced a 25 percent greater cumulative water infiltration than did the crimped straw. Compared with crimped straw or hay, costs of the stubble residue treatment were 75 to 95 percent lower. Chances of major weed infestations are also lower." |
