Extract

The control of undesirable woody plants is one of the biggest land management problems on non-crop land in the South. There are more than six million acres of pine sites in Louisiana alone that are in need of cull hardwood control (12). Large acreages of similar stands and sites are located in other southern states. Because of the competition for land and increased demand for raw materials, many landowners have realized the necessity of utilizing their land to the fullest extent.
