Body

A heavy-duty range interseeder is described that uses mostly commercially available parts. A rapid increase in yield of native forage species, particularly western wheatgrass, found following furrowing alone was sufficient for success of the interseeding practice. Seeding adapted grasses and legumes further increased forage production. Orenberg alfalfa was the most successful species interseeded in the Northern Great Plains. A parallel increase in the undesirable fringed sagewort may require control measures. Interseeding is a cheap and profitable method of range improvement./Encontraron que la intersembradora fabricada no era bastante fuerte para la intersiembra. Una intersembradora mas fuerte hecha por los autores usando principalmente refacciones comerciales es descrita. El aumento en la producción de forraje nativo por causa de los surcos hechos por la intersembradora fué suficiente para justificar la intersiembra. Pero, la intersiembra de gramíneas y leguminosas aumentó mas la producción. Orenburg alfalfa fué la especies más exitosa. La intersiembra es recomendable para mejorar la condición del pastizal.
