The history of weed control in planted pines has been one of fire, mechanical means and neglect. Many marginal row-crop acres are converting to planted pines. Regeneration efforts on cut-over forest acres lag behind harvested tree acres. Weed competition on converted and regenerated acres is high. Presented results model dollar linkages between weed competition and wood growth as Net Present Value in planted loblolly pines.
