Summary
At various locations near Lubbock, Post, Guthrie, Colorado City and Baird, during years with average to above-average winter precipitation, plots (from 1 to 90 acres; 0.4 to 36.4 ha) were burned in early spring (15 March 15 to 7 April 1968, 1970 or 1972).
This study indicates that when winter/spring precipitation is above normal, early spring burning is detrimental to sideoats grama Bouteloua curtipendula and Texas wintergrass Nassella leucotricha, and that they will take at least 2 years to recover to pre-burn yields.
