The trial results referred to on this website are an average from trials held over three years by AgResearch Grasslands in the Northland, Waikato/Bay of Plenty, Manawatu and Canterbury regions under which the performance of a ryegrass cultivar with AR37 endophyte was compared with the performance on the same ryegrass cultivar with standard endophyte. All trial regions showed an increase in drymatter from the cultivar with AR37 endophyte, with the range between regions being from a 5% increase to a 21% increase, and with average increase across the regions being 12%.
All calculations on this website of the potential increase from using AR37 endophyte over standard endophyte are indicative only. On-farm results will vary depending on many factors (including costs), in addition to location, which have not been provided for. The calculations assume pastures with AR37 endophyte are efficiently integrated into on-farm systems, typical milksolids response, and a Fonterra payout of $6.90 per kg of milksolids (being the payout announced in December 2007).
The comments from farmers on this website are only illustrative of the potential gains from pastures with AR37 endophyte.
