Summary
The group set up a project to provide growers with management information to significantly reduce the risk of ARGT on their farms. They chose to use what was seen to be the most beneficial baseline strategies of two biological control agents, these being nematode resistant ryegrass (Safeguard) and Twist Fungus. The group were confident this would give growers the ability to reduce the risk of ARGT deaths in livestock by 70-80%.
