Weeping Lovegrass as an Overwintering Habitat for the Boll Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1989Weeping lovegrass, Eragrostis curvula (Schrader) Nees von Esenbeck, is planted along contour terraces on the High Plains of Texas to reduce soil erosion by water and wind. However, this cropping system may provide a suitable overwintering habitat for the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, when it is planted adjacent to cotton. West of the

ABSTRACTWeeping lovegrass [Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees] supports extensive beef cattle operations in arid and semiarid environments worldwide. This perennial grass is preferred in low production areas of Argentina because it has a high biomass production with minimal management requirements.

THE NUTRITIVE VALUE OF WEEPING LOVEGRASS DURING THE SPRING SEASON
Grass and Forage Science, 1973ABSTRACTFaecal samples from a continuous digestibility trial with Eragrostis curvula were analyzed for cell‐wall contents, acid‐detergent fibre, lignin, asb and N. DM digestibility was regressed on all these fractions and organic‐matter digestibility was also regressed on faecal organic‐matter N.

Variability in Leaf Characteristics and Water Loss in the Weeping Lovegrass Complex
Crop Science, 1990Epicuticular wax restricts water loss across the cuticle of plant leaves and is considered to aid in drought resistance. This conserving effect is roughly proportional to the amount of wax present. We measured wax levels, water loss, and leaf width and rolling characteristics of 19 lovegrasses, Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees, to determine if ...

Differential resistance of weeping lovegrass genotypes to iron‐related chlorosis
Journal of Plant Nutrition, 1981Abstract Genotypes of weeping lovegraes (Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees) differ widely in resistance to an Fe‐related chlorosis on certain calcareous soils. To explore the physiology of this relationship in greater detail, chlorosis‐resistant FQ 22 and chlorosis‐susceptible FQ 71 genotypes were grown in nutrient solutions containing 1 ppm Fe (half ...

Fertilization of Native Grass and Weeping Lovegrass1
Agronomy Journal, 1975AbstractYield responses by native range to fertilization has often been disappointing in the tall grass prairie, and the results were confounded by changes in species composition. This study evaluated the response to N and P fertilizer by monocultures of three native species ‘Kaw’ big bluestem (Andropogun gerardi Vitman), ‘Caddo’ switchgrass (Panicum ...

Factors Affecting Weeping Lovegrass Seedling Vigor on Shinnery Oak Range
Journal of Range Management, 1991Low vigor of seedlings and stand failures plague many revegetation efforts in semiarid and arid rangelands. Phototoxicity, sandbur (Cenchrus incertus M.A. Curtis) competition, seedbed preparation (plowing vs. disking), and nitrogen (N) fertilization were studied as reasons for low vigor of Ermelo weeping lovegrass [Eragrostis curvula Schrad.) Nees ...

Plant regeneration in weeping lovegrass, (Eragrostis curvula) through inflorescence culture
Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 1996Plant regeneration from four genotypes of weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees), is reported via three developmental pathways: embryogenesis, organogenesis and direct regeneration. Organogenic and embryogenic callus cultures were initiated from young inflorescence segments on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 2,4-d and BA ...

A tissue culture protocol, suitable for transformation, was established for the pasture grass Eragrostis curvula. Callus was generated in the dark from leaf and seed tissues on a medium comprising MS salts supplemented with 2 mg/l 2,4-D, 0.01 mg/l BAP and 2% sucrose.
