Abstract
AbstractTeff (Eragrostis tef) is a native Ethiopian grain crop that is gaining popularity in the United States as a nutritious grain and a high quality forage crop. It is a reliable low‐risk crop that is relatively resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses and can be grown under moisture stress or waterlogged conditions. While it has a lot of potential, more research and education on teff is needed, particularly in the area of breeding and in the cropʼs nutrient and water requirements.
