Phosphorus fertiliser is associated with reduced grass grub (<scp><i>Costelytra giveni</i></scp>) fitness in <scp><i>Epichloë</i></scp> endophyte‐infected meadow fescue and perennial ryegrass
The study underscores the pivotal role of selected Epichloë endophyte-grass associations in mitigating grass grub damage across varying phosphorus levels. This study highlights the potential to integrate P applications for sustainable pest control against grass grub. Further field trials are required to validate these findings. © 2024 The Author(s).
