A historical overview argues that mulch is largely impractical in arid regions. Dust and straw mulches fail by blowing away or preventing rainfall from reaching roots.

The department compares seed counts per pound for grasses and lists species with seed numbers and typical acre seeding rates. Timothy 1,200,000. Kentucky blue 2,400,000. Redtop 4,000,000. Sudan 50,000. Typical acre rates range from 5 to 40 pounds depending on species. About 6,000 grass species exist globally, with ~20 key in the United States.
