Endophyte insect control ratings
These were compiled by AgResearch, Barenbrug, Cropmark, Grasslanz, PGG Wrightson Seeds and RAGT.
These ratings are indicative and may vary slightly between cultivars. If Argentine stem weevil or black beetle are present at sowing, an appropriate seed treatment is recommended to improve insect resistance during establishment.
The following table summarises the results from over 100 replicated pot and field trials, where insect feeding has occurred, and the resultant insect damage was assessed.
