Treatments within main effects (fertilizer, seed mix,
or interactions) and within columns (sites) with
the same letter are not significantly different
(p=0.05).
No significant effects were found for seeded native cover at Weston and Buckhannon until
2004. At the Weston site, Herbicide treated plots were significantly different from all others,
with Herbicide treated plots having the highest seeded native cover (33%), followed by Tilled
plots (13%) (Table 19). In Buckhannon, Herbicide treated and Tilled plots had significantly
higher seeded native cover than the other disturbance treatments (Table 20). The Elkins site
found Tilled plots to have the highest seeded native cover at 43%, with Herbicide treated and
