A major cooperative research effort between the Northern Region and the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station is devoted to the use and effects of prescribed fire. Prescribed fires in logging slash have been scheduled during the entire available burning season. A…

From the summary ... ' In summary, the results of these large scale fire tests, conducted under marginal burning conditions, were negative; but, paradoxically, I find this very heartening, for we can now be much more confident in our predictions of fire behavior to be expected…

Although burning was originally intended as a control measure for blind seed disease in perennial ryegrass, growers soon discovered the benefits of open field burning for other grass seed crops.

'During the past year, burning treatments on the Miller Creek Block were essentially completed. Preparations for moving to Newman Ridge, on the St. Regis District, this spring are well underway. Current plans call for 16 instrumented fires on Newman Ridge during 1969 to conclude…

Current research on the effects of slash burning on air quality is concerned with the reduction or dispersal of gaseous emissions and particulates. Guidelines for accomplishing these goals are being developed. The use of other disposal methods is also under study, particularly…

The emissions from burning the residue following grass-seed harvest were determined by means of a combined laboratory-field study. Samples of the straw and stubble residue were burned in the laboratory burning tower at the University of California at Riverside. Complete analyses…
