Tridens flavus, known as purpletop, purpletop tridens, tall redtop, greasy grass, and grease grass, [1] [2] [3] is a large, robust perennial bunchgrass. The seeds are purple, giving the grass its common name. The seeds are also oily, leading to its other common name, "grease grass". It reproduces by seed and tillers.
Andropogon virginicus is a perennial grass forming narrow clumps of stems up to just over a meter in maximum height (around 3 feet 3 inches). Its stems and leaves are green when new, turning purplish to orange and then straw-colored with age. It produces large amounts of seeds small enough to disperse on the wind.

Fruits: The seed-producing season of the grass is from June to September. The seeds mature disproportionally and production is commonly slow. [11] The joints of the seedhead break into two as the fruit matures and each seed-bearing part contains one seed. [7] The size of the seedhead can range from 6 to 10 inches. Usually, spikelets of grass ...
In 2008, these plants were harvested separately by using a power scythe and threshed in a combine. Again the best 50 plants were selected, this time based on yield per head, seed size, shortness, and free-threshing ability. The selection methods described above have increased seed size and yield by about 10 to 18% per cycle. [18]
