Jellied fuels are sometimes used in forest regeneration to clear for tree planting while reducing competing vegetation and pests and pathogens. Fire can be used by as tool for creating undesirable tree monocultures. Fire is also a tool in forest management and part of the natural cycle. The jellied fuels are also used in setting backfires to fight wildfires. There is one system that essentially uses ping ponds balls filled with napalm for aerial application.

Have an acquaintance that is currently at UC Santa Cruz developing an AI and laser system to replace glyphosate and similar in weeding agriculture crops.
