How can landowners enhance existing CRP stands for improved ecological and wildlife benefits?
NRCS offers producers an opportunity to improve their chances for re-enrollment into CRP if they enhance existing stands with additional plant species for diversity and subsequently better wildlife habitat. The Plant Materials Center in Manhattan, Kansas, examined the effect of several seedbed preparation techniques and seeding methods on the establishment of wildflower and legume species planted directly into CRP stands. Results show the most successful method involves shallow disking or burning early in the spring followed by drilling of the seed mixture.
