The New Zealand Plant Breeding and Research Association (PBRA) Endophyte Technical Committee’s (ETC) industry-agreed insect control ratings for all commercially available Epichloë endophytes.
The New Zealand Plant Breeding and Research Association (PBRA) Endophyte Technical Committee’s (ETC) industry-agreed animal safety ratings for all commercially available Epichloë endophytes.
The confirmation that Epichloë endophytes are important for pest resistance in New Zealand pastures led to the development of a range of novel endophyte strain × host plant combinations.
Fescue toxicosis has been associated with the presence of high ergovaline expressing Epichloë strains in tall fescue.
Despite the success of AR1 in controlling the impact of Argentine stem weevil on ryegrass persistence, a loss of plants began to occur through the early 2000s.
AR1 associations produce peramine but do not produce lolitrem B or ergovaline.
The mutualistic obligate endophyte Epichloë has been identified as an essential component of perennial ryegrass ensuring its persistence against many abiotic and biotic challenges.
We are proud to partner with some of the most innovative names in the industry.
