Eragrostis amabilis is native to the Eastern Hemisphere.
Eragrostis japonica is native to the tropics of the Eastern Hemisphere; it is now established in moist areas along rivers and streams in the southern portion of the contiguous United States, usually in sandy soils, at 0-200 m.
Eragrostis capillaris is native to the eastern portion of the Flora region.
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.

Abstract: Spring sowings in cultivated plots at Wagga Wagga in 1980 and 1982, and Cowra and Colinroobie in 1980 and 1981 examined the establishment and persistence of Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees complex cv.
There were three main treatments consisting of (a) burning in spring, (b) clipping to ground level and removing all litter in spring, and (c) leaving the pasture undisturbed until the late-season growth (control).
Abstract: A replacement series evaluation of the degree of interspecific competition between Anthephora pubescens Nees and Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees indicated that the former was a poor and the latter a strong competitor.

Plant and animal populations were sampled between June 1984 and August 1985 in semidesert grasslands on mesas in Santa Cruz County, Arizona.
Some areas had been seeded to weeping lovegrass and Lehmann lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana); other areas had native grasses, forbs, and shrubs.
