	Where Has All the Lovegrass Gone? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Weeping lovegrass was one of the earliest of the improved grasses, having been introduced by the SCS (NRCS) in the mid-1930s.
		Weeping lovegrass is the most productive of all warm-season perennial upland grasses on the well-drained soils where it grows best — fine sandy loam, loamy fine sand, and some deep sandtextured soils of many soil series.
		Lovegrass is an erect, tight clump grass especially well suited to early-season grazing, haying, and winter-stockpile use, as well as proper full-season grazing.

	Species:
		Weeping lovegrass becomes unpalatable with maturity, and may be grazed very little from flowering in early summer through dormancy in the fall [50,54].
		Excellent stands of weeping lovegrass were established by no-till planting in early June on sloping, eroded, acidic soils in the Piedmont region of Virginia [58].
		Weeping lovegrass as an overwintering habitat for the boll weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

	Lovegrass - Weeping
		Weeping Lovegrass is a warm season, perennial bunchgrass.
		Weeping Lovegrass is established easily by seeds and spread by tillering.
		Lovegrass was imported from South African in the late 1920's.

	Winter Injury
		Weeping lovegrass was severely affected with 80 to nearly 100% stand loss in northwestern Oklahoma.
		Since these species are a major forage resource in the region, we attempted to document by field observations the extent of damage and recovery over the spring and summer of 1990 and with additional observations in the spring of 2001..
		Weeping lovegrass was so severely damaged in the winter of 1989-90 that little or no forage was available for grazing on this species during the spring of 1990.

		The refuge was created in 1985 to establish a breeding population of the masked bobwhite quail and to further restore the natural habitat of the area.
		Prescribed burns were initiated to reduce the growth of mesquite and Lehmann lovegrass, said Sally Gall, a wildlife biologist at the refuge.
		Lovegrass was considered a victory because it grows fast, matures fast, spreads a phenomenal amount of seed and survives drought better than native grasses, said Geiger, who is trying to find how varying nitrogen levels in soil can restore native plants.

		Lovegrass destroys the vegetation around it through allelopathy, in other words, by releasing chemical substances into the soil.
		The preferred environment for the invader are the pampas, the plains of southern Brazil, especially the open areas that have been degraded by extensive farming, or that serve as pasture, or which have been burned to clear the land for cultivation.
		Lovegrass, says Coelho, can be controlled by rotating farm and ranching activities and applying herbicides.

	African lovegrass
		African lovegrass is a Regionally Prohibited Weed in the Mallee, North Central, North East, West Gippsland and East Gippsland Catchment and Land Protection Regions, and a Regionally Controlled Weed in the Port Phillip West and Goulburn CaLP Regions.
		Landholders in areas where African lovegrass is Regionally Controlled must take all reasonable steps to control it and prevent its spread on their land and the roadsides which adjoin their land.
		African lovegrass favours acidic sands and sandy loam soils in the 400 to 700 mm annual rainfall belt.

	Bermudagrass and Weeping Lovegrass - Mixtures for Forage
		First year weeping lovegrass developing in bermudagrass that was severely disked and then spike-tooth harrowed to prepare a seedbed; lovegrass planted in 10-inch rows.
		First, weeping lovegrass is used well by grazing or burning residue by late winter or spring bermudagrass sprigging time.
		A better procedure is to use the weeping lovegrass, till it lightly during good soil moisture conditions to prepare a fair seedbed but leave most of the weeping lovegrass clumps intact, and then sprig bermudagrass as usual (figure 8).

		Native to the mountains of Tanzania, weeping lovegrass was imported to this country in 1927 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for use in erosion control in Florida, Texas and Arizona.
		Weeping lovegrass has spread across the entire southern portion of the United States and northward as far as Pennsylvania and New Jersey where it is still spreading by self seeding.
		The popularity of weeping lovegrass in horticultural circles and for erosion control has made this a plant commonly found in nurseries and garden centers.

	Why is it called lovegrass? - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lovegrasses are found in temperate and tropical zones around the world.
		The name, lovegrass, first appeared in print in 1702, but it is thought much older and may well date to the Middle Ages.
		Lovegrasses are generally clump-forming and many like the purple lovegrass (Eragrostis spectabilis) have graceful, airy panicles (inflorescences) that give the appearance of a haze hovering above the ground.

	Lehmann Lovegrass Won't Succumb to Fire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Erika Geiger presents her research on Lehmann lovegrass and fire at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America.
		Regardless of the time of year Lehmann lovegrass was burned, the grass grew back and, in some cases, increased in amount, report ecologists from the University of Arizona in Tucson.
		McPherson said that it's tempting to think that, given that there was little change in ratio between non-native and native grasses, Lehmann lovegrass has reached a steady state and will not spread any further.

	Small Mammal and Invertebrate Trapping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As is true for many nonnative species, widespread establishment of nonnative lovegrasses is perceived to be detrimental to many resource management goals, including restoration of native grasslands and community structure, maintenance of high-quality habitat for wildlife, and maintenance of livestock grazing values.
		Thus, establishment and spread of lovegrasses is disruptive to native ecosystem processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
		Because increased abundance of nonnative lovegrasses is thought detrimental to some native species and to overall biodiversity and to ecosystem function, we have initiated an experimental assessment of the influence of fire regime on abundance of nonnative lovegrasses and biodiversity.

		Boer lovegrass, a second type of E. curvula, is more palatable than other types and more drought resistant than weeping lovegrass, but is less winter hardy and less productive.
		Lehmann lovegrass is easier to establish in dry environments than E. curvula.
		Because it is very low in palatability during the summer, has the capability to maintain its stands by recruitment of new seedlings and spread into adjacent areas, it has become an invasive plant in parts of the grass/shrub lands of the southwestern USA.

		Abstract: Flupropanate (Frenock) and glyphosate were applied to serrated tussock (Nassella trichotoma (Nees) Arech.) by wiping at Tuena and Dalgety, New South Wales and flupropanate was applied to African lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula (Shrad.) Nees) by wiping at Dalgety in September 1995.
		Flupropanate killed or damaged small unwiped serrated tussock, African lovegrass, cocksfoot, phalaris, and native grass plants near the base of mature tussocks.
		It appeared that flupropanate wiped onto leaves was washed to the soil by rain where it spread and affected grasses in close proximity to tussock bases.
