with proper cultures, according to the manufacturer’s directions. Protect inoculated seed from prolonged exposure to sunlight before sowing. Re- inoculate seed not sown within 24 hours. If using hydraulic seeders, use inoculant four times the manufacturer’s recommended rate. If inoculated seed is held in a slurry with fertilizers for more than 1 hour, re- inoculate or apply legumes separately.
aerial , hydraulic placement, broadcasting, drilling, or hand seeding methods. See Table E for seeding methods. Inspect seeding equipment and calibrate the equipment according to manufacturer recommendations to ensure the specified application rates. Periodically perform a check on the rate and uniformity of application, as directed. Before seed application of each designated seed formula, thoroughly clean- out equipment . Collect all non-applied seed derived from each clean- out event and remove as waste from the project.
