Nurse crops are expected to develop in two to five weeks and, <br /> with adequate maintenance, be an effective method of soil stabili ation for <br /> a period of six months to one year. Nurse crops are not effective as primary <br /> long term cover, however if properly maintained they can be an adequate <br /> cover and protecti on for the devel opment of pri mary crops. <br /> The goal for a primary crop i s for it to develop over a three wee to one year <br /> period and be effective up to three years with a well-defined maintenance <br /> program. The long term goal for a primary crop is the initial step toward <br /> a sustainable protective cover without the need of maintenance. here the <br /> pri mary crop is i ntended for a managed lawn and landscape aesthetics, the <br /> effective period can be extended by a more intense maintenance program. <br /> here native species are uti I i ed and become establ i shed during the planned <br /> mad ntenance program, a permanent cover that wi I I support future successi on <br /> species should exist and require little or no additional maintenance or <br /> management. <br /> n uses of both nurse and pri mary crops,the devel opment peri ods I i sted on the <br /> tables are optimal based on normal climatic conditions for the pl anti ng dates <br /> I i sted. The sedi ment and erosi on control mad ntenance program must recogni e <br /> that optimum temperatures and rainfall are the exception rather than the rule. <br /> The design professional needs to provide flexibility in the stabilization plan <br /> to address the potential ranges of temperature and moisture conditions we <br /> experience in North Carolina. <br /> 6.11.1 Rev. /0 <br />
