Argentine stem weevils increase in significance over summer. Be aware that seedling grasses, even those infected with endophyte, are very susceptible to damage from this pest if numbers are high. This also applies to cereal and maize crops. Coated seed or pre-emergence insecticide application can prevent damage.
