Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: iii, 23 p. : map ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: It has been accepted within Ducks Unlimited (Canada) that it is necessary to establish suitable cover on artifically created nesting islands and also on newly constructed dykes and control sites.Throughout the area offices in Manitoba, different seeding techniques have been employed over the years, producing varied results. After analysis of the results, it has been found that the use of an A.T.V.pulling a section of harrows to prepare a proper seed bed produces the best results. A full description of this technique is outlined in Wark,1981. Due to the large expense and large amount of mechanical breakdown time encountered using this traditional method, it was decided that a new technique should be tried on an experimental basis. This new method,called hydro seeding, allows the seed and fertilizer to be dispensed through a water hose by way of a pump system. It was hoped that this method would reduce the problem of breakdown time and also provide a relatively inexpensive and effec
