Description
Argentine stem weevil (Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel)) is a recognised pasture pest throughout most regions of New Zealand including an increasing threat to the southern half of the South Island (Popay et al. 2011). Mitigation options for control of adult Argentine stem weevil (ASW) during establishment of ryegrass are available. The following study investigated the potential for seed infected with novel endophytic fungi Neotyphodium sp.(Clavicipitaceae: Hypocreales) and/or seed treated with systemic insecticide to improve the survivability of ryegrass seedlings in the presence of adult ASW in South Otago, New Zealand.
