Book Description

An equipment report on press seeders and punch seeders is provided as Section 8.4.4 of the US Army Corps of Engineers Wildlife Resources Management Manual. The report is designed to assist the Corps District or project biologist with the selection and use of types of equipment and materials available for habitat development and manipulation. Topics covered include description, operation, and limitations. The Oregon press seeder is a specialized drill seeder developed for use on light, loose soils in sagebrush areas. The punch seeder is designed to seed fragile, arid soils and other areas where surface disturbance should be kept to a minimum. Management objectives for using the seeders are stated, and applications to habitat development projects are discussed. The design and assembly of equipment are described and illustrated, and general specifications are provided. Methods of operation are described, and maintenance and safety requirements are given. Appropriate cautions and limitations are discussed. Keywords: Planting methods, and Site restoration.

Book Description

A report on mechanical site preparation techniques is provided as Section 5.7.1 of the US Army Corps of Engineers Wildlife Resources Management Manual. The report was prepared as a guide to assist Corps biologists and resource managers in the use of site preparation techniques and associated equipment on project lands. Habitat development and other revegetation projects often require mechanical site and seedbed preparation prior to and during planting operations. This report provides general information on mechanical techniques and major types of equipment used for these operations. Topics covered are dozers and attachments, chains and cables, choppers and shredders, mowers, plows and disks, sifters and harrows, subsoilers and rippers, furrowing and pitting, and regional considerations. A summary of basic equipment uses and limitations is provided in an appendix. The reader is referred to Chapter 8, EQUIPMENT, of this manual for more detailed information on individual pieces of equipment. (Author).
