The evaluation of field-planting techniques was conducted in two phases. Phase one focused on determining the relative tolerance of seeds, sprigs, and plugs to wave activity. Phase two focused on develop- ing improved plug-planting techniques for erosion control, a. Phase One--Comparison of Seeds, Sprigs, and Plugs. San Mateo and Alameda Creek (area 1) were selected for the phase one plantings. The San Mateo site was planted between 14 and 25 July 1976 and plant survival was determined in August and December 1976. Alameda Creek (area 1) was planted in May 1976 and monitored in August and October 1976 and January 1977. The following is a summary of plant materials used at each site. San Mateo Seeds (hand), 23 liters Alameda Creek (area 1) Seeds (hand), 20 liters Seeds (hydroseeding), 150 liters Sprigs, 628 Sprigs, 360 Plugs, 54 Plugs, 108.
