On the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Danthonia racemosa sown in both a field study and a pot experiment produced as much dry matter as any sown exotic grass species. Dry matter production of D. racemosa was least affected by dry weather conditions in the field while in pots it proved equally as responsive asphalaris tuberosa to nitrogen fertilizer. However, production of D. racemosa during winter was lower than P. tuberosa.
