Points For Seeding
Permanent Pastures
The type of seeding mixture that
should be used for permanent pas
tures in North Carolina will de
pend on the fertility and moisture
level of the soils and the soil type,
says Dr. R. L. Lovvern, in charge
of forage crops investigations for
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at State College.
For average sandy soils of the
Coastal Plain he recommends 10
pounds of Dallis grass and 15 pounds !
or Kobe lespedeza per acre. For
fertile and moist soils in this area,
he recommends a mixture of 8 pounds
of Dallis grass. 5 pounds of orchard
grass, 15 pounds of Kobe lespeJeza,
and 1 pound of white clover. He
points out that Bermuda grass root
stocks may be substituted for Dallis
grass on the sandy soils.
In the Piedmont and Mountain
sections on poor to medium soils,
the recommendation is 6 pounds of
orchard grass, 6 pounds of redtop,
4 pounds of Dallis grass, and 15
poun.is of lespedeza. Pastures on
good to medium soils can be estab
lished with 10 pounds of orchard
grass, 5 pounds of Dallis grass, 15
pounds of lespedeza, and 1 pound of
white clover. Lespedeza, or lespe
deza and sweet clover, should be
planted on poor soils. On these
prjor soils grasses can be ad 'ed after
ihe fertility has been increased
through the use of legumes.
Dr. Lovvern calls special attention
to the need for plenty of manure and
fertilize;' for permanent pastures on
all soils. The more plant food sup
plied, thi' better the grazing.
These pastures should also be
seeded at the proper time. While
usually it is be'ter practice to seed
then in the fall, they may be suc
cessfully seeded in the spring. Lov
vnrn recommends the following dates:
Coastal plain, Feb. 15 to March 15;
Piedmont, March 1 to 31; Mountains.
March 15 to April 15.
