Lovegrass is a genus of grass. Most species, if they are used for anything, are used for feeding livestock, but teff is eaten by humans, mostly in Ethiopia.

Eragrostis curvula (1687 words)
Eragrostis curvula grows in southern Africa and northwards to east Africa, and introduced throughout the tropics mainly as a fodder.
It is harvested in early summer and again later in summer with a header-harvester or a hand sickle when one-third of the head has turned brown.
Eragrostis curvula has been used successfully for oversowing the broad intermontane plains or altiplanos of the arid to semi-arid Puna proper in the province of Juyjuy in northern Argentina at 3 000 m elevation.
