Thirty years' experience shows that Lehmann lovegrass readily establishes itself from seed under adverse conditions, reseeds itself quickly after fire or other disturbance, can withstand heavy continuous yearlong grazing, and can invade established stands of velvet mesquite. However, it is less palatable than native perennial grasses during the summer growing season, and has almost completely replaced the native perennial grasses on and adjacent to seeded areas within its preferred range./Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en la estación experimental de Santa Rita cerca de Tucson, Arizona, EUA. Se encontró después de 30 años de observaciones que el zacate Lehmann Lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana Nees A-68) tiene buena adaptación a las zonas de 1,100 a 1,500 metros de altura y que tengan precipitación pluvial de 225 a 325 mm. Las siguientes ventajas y desventajas fueron encontradas: 1) Existe menor palatabilidad del zacate en el verano y mayor en el invierno que los zacates nativos. 2) El forraje seco dura mas que los nativos de un año a otro por lo tanto su uso es ventajoso para sequías. 3) Es muy agresivo ya que puede reemplazar las especies nativas e invadir montes de mezquite y tierra quemada. 4) Puede resistir el pastoreo pesado y continuado por todo el año.
