Argentine stem weevil is a significant threat to seedling grasses, even those infected with endophyte, at this time of year. This also applies to cereal and maize crops. If it is possible, delay sowing until early March when much of this threat will have passed. See DairyNZ Pasture Renewal Guide for endophyte selection
