Dug: I think what you have in this question is another one of those geographic items. There are places where fire is a benefit and other areas where it definately is not a good practice. In more northern climates we like to have a good growth die down in fall. It protects the young grass from spring frosts. What can happen is early warm days can start growth, then it can turn cold again. When I say cold I'm talking single digit F numbers. That will kill the new grass if exposed. Soon as the risk of severe frost is gone you hit it with A/N and the old growth just disintergrates. We also find fire does as much damage to grass as it does to the weeds. Some of the most weed infested pastures I've ever seen were burned every year. As I said earlier don't think the same rules apply everywhere. Climate is everything.
