MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
When the introduced Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) tree invades
southern Florida slash pine stands in rockland pine forest of extreme
southeastern Florida, it shades out the herbaceous understory flora,
including firegrass.  Prescribed fire may be useful in controlling
Brazilian pepper [7].

Saw-palmetto (Serenoa repens) flatwoods in south-central Florida were
treated with herbicides in conjunction with burning to improve native
pastures, which included firegrass.  Burning and 2,4,5-T application
decreased saw-palmetto cover and increased total grass cover from 29.4
percent to 67.5 percent over a 2- year period [5].
