Abstract
Described is the method and use of AR584 endophyte (AGAL deposit no. NM98/04676 dated 12 May 1998) or variations in endophyte as exemplified by AR584, to produce a grass cultivar and AR584 combination wherein the plant or a part thereof produced by the combination retains viable AR584 endophyte after treatment with fungicide and/or after being subjected to elevated temperature or humidity.
