Endophytes

hHigh Endophyte Ryegrass The endophyte fungus provides resistance to various insect pests, particularly Argentine stem weevil Is tolerant of drought conditions Highly nutritious to animals Disadvantage: sheep can get rye grass staggers

Rye grass staggers

Low endophyte rye grass No ryegrass staggers Highly nutritious Disadvantages: Needs irrigation in summer and not drought tolerant Insect pest problems

Cocksfoot Highly tolerant of drought conditions Highly tolerant of poor soil nutrients Can tolerate heavy stock damage and heavy grazing

Tall Fescue Tolerates: hot summer temperatures Poorly drained soil like clay soil

Red Clover High feed value Good summer growth Great for fattening young stock Long tap root for drought tolerance

White clover Adds nitrogen to soil High feed value Good summer growth

Lucerne Long tap root for drought tolerance High feed value

Chickory Deep tap root for drought tolerance High feed value Pest resistant
