Although <br /> diversity is desirable, it is imperative that the primary crop develop and become an <br /> effective protective cover. In addition to the native species mix, additional nurse crop <br /> species must be included to provide immediate stabilization and an adequate ground cover. <br /> Rev. /0 6.11.1 <br />
