Grassland - other (specify in comments)
Grassland - prohibit grazing
Grassland - prevent woody invasion
Restrict human disturbance
Grassland - prescribed/controlled burning
Grassland - maintain habitat diversity
Beneficial Management References: 007
Grassland - application of herbicides
Grassland - application of pesticides
Grassland - uncontrolled grazing of domestic livestock
Adverse Management References: 010 , 007 , 009
Comments on Management:
Detrimental to allow woody species to become established on prairies *07*. Mowing during the growing season and application of pesticides that affect pollinators are detrimental *09*. Decline is due to loss of suitable habitat by conversion of prairie to cropland, collection pressure, poaching, and limited pollination. Requires cold stratification of about 2 mos. *010*
