Forage production following selected mechanical brush control practices in South Texas

Abstract

The immediate objectives of this study were threefold: (1) to compare effects of several methods of mechanical brush control on forage production, (2) to study fertilization of rangeland after brush control as an aid in forage improvement, and (3) to study effects of mowing after brush control as a maintenance practice. The long term objectives will concern succession and rate of brush reinvasion.
