Body

Based on 7 prescribed burning trials on tobosagrass (Hilaria mutica) in the Rolling Plains of Texas from 1968 to 1976, burned tobosagrass ranges yielded an additional present value of $36.16/ha ($14.64/ac) over 5 years with calf prices at $1.62/kg ($.731 lb). Additional costs are $10-12.50/ha ($4-5/ac). These results are based on average precipitation on ranges which had prior chemical treatment on mesquite. The prescribed burns were conducted according to recommended practices.
