About Plant Materials Publications

PM Publications is a cooperative project between the USDA-NRCS Plant Materials Centers (PMCs) and the National Plant Data Center. Most of the publications that are accessed through PM Publications were produced by one of the 27 regional PMCs or their associated Plant Materials Specialists. Many deal with the selection, establishment, growth, management, and uses of the hundreds of plants that NRCS uses for land conservation activities. A large percentage address the characteristics of NRCS Improved Conservation Releases.
