These ratings are indicative and may vary slightly between cultivars. If Argentine stem weevil or black beetle adult are present at sowing, an appropriate seed treatment is recommended to improve insect control during establishment. The ratings in these tables are based in part on glasshouse studies where test plants are 100% infected with endophyte, whereas commercial seed must meet minimum standards of 70% of seeds infected.
It is not advisable to mix AR37 and AR1 varieties. AR1 is not recommended for areas where black beetle, porina or root aphid are common problem pests. AR37 is only suitable for sheep and cattle and not advised for deer or horses.
