Morpa, a new variety of weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees), increased yearly gain per steer 33 lb, or 12%, in a 3-year grazing comparison with Common weeping lovegrass at Woodward, Oklahoma. Because steer gains were greater, Morpa produced $12.00, or 170%, more profit per acre. Also, Morpa had the same high carrying capacity as Common; was equally adapted to withstand drouth; and required the same high level of cultural and grazing management. Morpa was slightly less winterhardy than Common. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
