Abstract

Burned low-elevation sagebrush sites can be seeded with mixes of native grasses, forbs and shrubs using rangeland drills adapted for seeding large and small seeds in separate rows. Seeding technique, timing of seed application, and seeding rate are important considerations when seeding Wyoming big sagebrush.
