Indigofera pratensis has exellent potential for rehabilitation works. Like other Indigofera species, its seed is forgiving to work with being easy to spread and having long viability. The distribution of the taxon covers large areas where rehabilitation works could take place and this includes Central Queensland mining areas and busy coastal areas. The nitrogen fixing properties of the plant will also attract interest where the building of soil fertility is an aim. Productivity of wild stands is a limitation for seed collectors and cultivation may be required to aid commercialisation of the seed. Notable wild cropping is likely when considerable early season rain occurs after winter burning of forest areas. Indigofera pratensis appears to often be confused with Tephrosia species such as Tephrosia brachyodon, Tephrosia rufula and others. Indigofera species have pods which are terete, meaning they are roughly circular in cross-section or cylindrical. Taxa from the Tephrosia genus have flattened pods. Seed morphology is also distinct.
