Abstract

Many chemicals are available for brush control to reduce fire hazards around rural homes. These chemicals can also be used to reduce competition to desirable native trees and shrubs for landscaping. Livestock offer the preferred method of reducing the amount of dry grass and re-growth of brush seedlings. However, this article also discusses chemicals that can be used for this purpose.
