Fall, spring, and summer burning significantly reduced total forage production on a Texas High Plains range. Although herbage yields were less on burned plots, the vigor of the desirable blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis Willd. ex HBK) appeared to be benefited by fires while the vigor of two less desirable grasses appeared to be decreased. Spring burning is recommended over fall burning when moisture accumulation and erosion potential are considered. Recovery from fire was quickest after a summer burn.Type
