Healthy & Vigorous Forage Stands Project April 2013 – March 2016 PEACE RIVER AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT FUND (PRAD)

Project Details ► ► Exploring options to establish effective and economic rejuvenation methods of forage:   Fertility options   Grazing options   Chemical options   Equipment options ► ► Tillage options (zero till, conventional), Airway, Mowing   Species/Variety option ► ► Species selection Web Tool ► ► Variety demos   Inclusive Management Practices ► ► Sites with multiple options utilized together Spreading fertilizer

Project Objectives ► ► Identify & demonstrate more effective and economic ways to maintain or improve forage health. ► ► Provide web tools to assist in plant selection for re-vegetation sites ► ► Share information ATV sprayer Example of Forage Fact communication

2013 Activities ► ► Weed control   Scentless Chamomile control ► ► Competition ► ► Biocontrol   Canada Thistle control ► ► Herbicide vs herbicide + fertilizer   Foxtail Barley control ► ► Herbicide ► ► Fall seeding ► ► Mowing/grazing   Goat Grazing Monitoring SC in pasture Ed Bellamy goats in Cecil Lake area

2013 Activities Cont. ► ► Alfalfa longevity   Fertilizer & manure application ► ► Peace River Forage Seeding Interactive Database (FOR-SiD) Screen shot of a possible front page design

Seeding Interactive Database (SiD) ► ► Forage species selection web tool ► ► Users: Farmers & Agribusinesses, Environmental/Reclamation Professionals, Foresters and Range Agrologists, Weed Committees??? ► ► BC Rangeland Seeding Manual ► ► Launch: March 2014 ► ► Seeding rate calculator

Seeding Interactive Database (SiD) Already have the first “sprint”!! Screen shots of the users flow through the manual/web tool and species summaries
