Teff is a C 4 plant, [5] which allows it to more efficiently fix carbon in drought and high temperatures, and is an intermediate between a tropical and temperate grass. [7] The name teff is thought to originate from the Amharic word ጠፍፋ teffa, which means "lost". [6] [8] This probably refers to its tiny seeds, which have a diameter ...

The name of the genus is derived from the Greek words ἔρως (érōs), meaning "love", and ἄγρωστις (ágrōstis), meaning "grass". [12] Lovegrass is commonly used as livestock fodder. The seeds appear to be of high nutritional value for some animals, but they are also very tiny and collecting them for human food is cumbersome and ...
Eragrostis pilosa is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is native to Eurasia and Africa. [1] It may [1] [2] or may not [3] [4] be native to North America. It is widely introduced, and it is a common weed in many areas. Common names include Indian lovegrass, [5] Jersey love-grass, [6] hairy love grass, small tufted lovegrass, and soft ...
In northwestern Nevada from 1984–1997 cheatgrass density was altered by changing the seeding rates of a variety of native and non-native perennial grass and forb seed mixes. Cheatgrass densities were reduced to 2.6 plants per sq. m with seeding rates of 22.5 – 25 PLS per sq ft. Cheatgrass densities of 4.07 and 3.58 plants per sq. m were ...
Another consequence of different grazing styles is variation between species in the number of units that can lead to overgrazing – for example, horses may overgraze the short parts of a pasture even when taller grass is still available. Livestock grazing comparison units are used by many governments to measure and control the intensity of ...
For seed physiologists and seed scientists "germination rate" is the reciprocal of time taken for the process of germination to complete starting from time of sowing. On the other hand, the number of seed able to complete germination in a population (i.e. seed lot) is referred to as germination capacity .
A bag of retail teff flour. Injera became more common in the United States during a spike in Ethiopian immigration in the 1980s and 1990s, [17] largely because of the Refugee Act passed in 1980. [18] Teff flour is now being produced in the United States by several companies, making teff more accessible to expatriate Ethiopians. [19]
