Genetic studies of fall armyworm indicate a new introduction into Africa and identify limits to its migratory behavior

Rodney N. Nagoshi et al.

Summary: This article investigates the invasion history and genetic composition of fall armyworm in Africa, and finds that the natural migration of the pest is more limited than expected, with a high risk of future introductions in West Africa.

Hybrid convolution neural network model for a quicker detection of infested maize plants with fall armyworms using UAV-based images

Farian S. Ishengoma et al.

Summary: This study proposes a hybrid convolutional neural network model that combines UAV technology and VGG16 with InceptionV3 models for accelerated detection of fall armyworm-infested maize leaves. Comparisons show that the proposed hybrid model outperforms four existing CNN models in terms of accuracy and training time.

Agronomic Factors Influencing Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) Infestation and Damage and Its Co-Occurrence with Stemborers in Maize Cropping Systems in Kenya

Daniel Munyao Mutyambai et al.

Summary: This study assessed the co-occurrence, infestation, and damage of Fall armyworm (FAW) with resident stemborers in maize cropping systems across different agro-ecological zones in Kenya. The results demonstrated that FAW dominates resident stemborers in maize fields and its infestation and damage are highest in coastal lowlands compared to other areas. Agronomic practices, such as mixed cropping systems with rainfed production and frequent weeding, can reduce FAW infestation and damage. Young vegetative maize plants are more susceptible to infestation and damage. Different maize varieties also show varying levels of infestation and damage, with Pioneer having the least damage.

Methodological analysis of bioclimatic variable selection in species distribution modeling with application to agricultural pests (Metcalfa pruinosa and Spodoptera litura)

Sunhee Yoon et al.

Summary: The study found that correlation-based screening and principal component analysis-based variable reconstruction generally returned better prediction accuracy for MaxEnt models, but the optimal method varied for each species, suggesting that variable selection depends on the target species and its distribution pattern.

Climate change and specialty coffee potential in Ethiopia

Abel Chemura et al.

Summary: Utilizing machine learning algorithms, this study aimed to predict the impact of climate change on specialty coffee suitability in Ethiopia. The research found that while climatic factors remain crucial, the importance of variables determining coffee suitability varies in the combined model. Approximately 27% of the country is suitable for coffee cultivation, with only up to 30% suitable for specialty coffees, and under climate change, there is a projected net increase in coffee production suitability overall but losses in the majority of specialty coffee growing areas.

Effects of temperature on life-history traits of the newly invasive fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda in Southeast China

Li-Li Huang et al.

Summary: The fall armyworm invaded Jiangxi Province, China in mid-May 2019, causing extensive damage to corn crops. Research showed that the fall armyworm thrived on corn leaves with short developmental periods, high survival rates, high mating success rates, and high fecundity. There were positive relationships between pupal weight and larval developmental time, as well as between adult weight and fecundity, while a negative relationship was found between fecundity and longevity.

Global Habitat Suitability of Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae): Key Parasitoids Considered for Its Biological Control

Ghislain T. Tepa-Yotto et al.

Summary: The fall armyworm is now a global pest, with biological control being a sustainable and environmentally friendly option. Predicting the habitats of parasitoids in South America offers new insights for controlling the pest.

Saliou Niassy et al.

Summary: The study on fall armyworm in East Africa shows the importance of crop selection, cropping systems, and crop phenology in influencing the population dynamics of the pest. The research highlights the significance of community-based pest monitoring for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa.

Pest interceptions on imported fresh fruits into South Africa

Livhuwani R. Nnzeru et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the susceptibility of South Africa to introduced plant-feeding pests detected from imported fresh fruits over a 10-year period. It found that while the proportion of quarantine pests was relatively low, their risk of introduction was deemed unacceptable. Most intercepted pests were non-quarantine pests, indicating a need for revision of phytosanitary policies and border controls to prevent future introductions.
