Synopsis Erosion control can be secured on most steep roadbanks by establishing good vegetative cover of adapted species. Mulch aids this cover establishment and provides temporary erosion control until sufficient plant cover develops. Adequate fertilizer and lime hasten plant growth and cover. Proper mowing schedules aid seed production, plant vigor, and cover development.
