Peramine concentrations in a range of ryegrass/ AR1 endophyte associations have been measured during pre-market safety testing. While concentrations for diploid perennial ryegrass cultivars were in excess of 15ppm a small number of associations were below 10ppm. These proved to be tetraploid ryegrass. When assessing the effectiveness of a ryegrass/AR1 association to deter ASW, and other invertebrate pasture pests, the host ryegrass cultivar or genotype and consequent peramine concentrations need to be taken into consideration.
