Abstract: The goal of this Task Agreement is to identify how agricultural practices can be used in restoration of native prairie ecosystems. Initially work will focus on identifying a list of potential projects for a multi-year program and initiating work on selected projects. Currently the two issues that appear the most promising are development of propagation techniques for bulbiferous monocots such as Camas, Chocolate Lilly, or Death Camas and screening of herbicides.
