1 Information presented in this table was obtained from the company listed as the contractor or the plant breeder of each variety. No endophyte testing was performed by Oregon State University. The endophyte level of a specific field may vary depending on a number of factors. If an accurate determination of endophytic toxins is needed prior to feeding straw or forage, samples can be tested at the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences, Corvallis, OR.
