Purple top (Tridens flavus) is a perennial, warm season bunchgrass that is consumed by all grazing livestock. It has erect tufted culms and stands 35 to 75 inches tall. Leaf blades are flat, often less than ½ inch wide and 10 to 27 inches long, lax, smooth, and glossy green. The leaf sheath is flattened near the base, keeled i.e., has a central rib, and overlapping. The ligule is a ring of short hairs. The seedhead is an open cluster, 8 to 14 inches long, spreading, pyramid shaped, usually purple, sometimes nearly black.
Crabgrass is believed to have evolved in Africa and made its way to Europe before being introduced to the USA as a contaminant in feed and fodder.
Red River crabgrass was developed by the Noble Foundation following crabgrass research and development which, in part looked at the historic use of crabgrass by farmers for grazing and hay production.
The parent plant for Red River crabgrass was one plant of hairy crabgrass: Digitaria ciliaris. In 1988 Red River crabgrass was officially named and released.
Weeping lovegrass (Eragróstis cúrvula) is a warm-season, perennial bunch-grass that grows to a height of 2 to 4 feet. Introduced to the USA from East Africa, it has rapid growth and produces a great many basal leaves 10 to 20 inches long and 1/4 inch wide that taper to a needle like point. These long, folding or weeping leaves suggest its common name.
