My front endophyte enhanced p. rye, didn't touch it either.
Any client that I have that wants to go organic, I first start with the turf they have and suggest a reseeding with the endo enhanced varities, once less pest to worry about.

Absolutely right! We should be focused more on prevention than control. Endophytic seed is a must where it will grow.
