AR1 protects plants from Argentine Stem Weevil and Pasture Mealy Bug with a limited defence against Black Beetle and no protection against Root Aphid, Porina, and Grass Grub.

AR1 is discouraged for use in the upper North Island due to its susceptibility to Black Beetle invasions, which could lead to the destruction of all ryegrass.
