Appendices sagem

The third section provides extensive tables summarizing seed production information for native plant species which have been grown for seed production at the Tallgrass Prairie Center. Included are establishment recommendations, seed germination protocols, harvesting and seed cleaning information, sample seed test results, and seed counts per unit weight.

 

This section is under construction and new material will be added as soon as it is complete.

Seed Cleaning Settings

The following files represent compilations of settings that have enabled us to clean seed of dozens of native prairie and wetland species at the Tallgrass Prairie Center. We use a Westrup laboratory scale brush machine and air screen cleaners for most seed cleaning tasks, and settings are provided for those machines. The settings are intended to provide a starting point from which you can modify the procedures and settings to suit your equipment and the characteristics of particular seedlots. You can download each file as a printable document (PDF) or as an Excel spreadsheet.
