Impact of climate change on maize yield in China from 1979 to 2016

Wu Jian-zhai et al.

Summary: Climate change has a negative impact on maize yield in China, with temperature increase significantly reducing yield while precipitation change has negligible effects. The impact varies spatially, with southern China experiencing more significant impacts. However, the resilience of maize to climate change has been observed to be strong in both southern and northern China over time.

Damage, distribution and natural enemies of invasive fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. smith) under rainfed maize in Karnataka, India

Omprakash Navik et al.

Summary: The study assessed the occurrence, incidence, and damage severity of fall armyworm in maize fields in Karnataka, India during the rainfed condition, revealing widespread distribution and significant damage to maize. Co-occurrence with native stem borers and natural enemies were explored to combat this pest, with parasitoids found parasitizing different life stages of fall armyworm. These findings provide important groundwork for developing sustainable management strategies for fall armyworm.

Effectiveness of Entomopathogenic Fungi on Immature Stages and Feeding Performance of Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae

Atif Idrees et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy of five entomopathogenic fungal isolates against Fall Armyworm (FAW) in China. Three fungal isolates showed significant effects on egg mortality and reduced feeding efficacy of FAW larvae, suggesting they could be potential candidates for biopesticide development. Further research is needed to validate these findings in real-world situations.

Effectiveness of Different Soft Acaricides against Honey Bee Ectoparasitic Mite Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae)

Ziyad Abdul Qadir et al.

Summary: The study examined the efficacy of formic acid, oxalic acid, and thymol in controlling Varroa mites, with all three soft acaricides effectively reducing mite populations and being suitable for integrated management plans. Naturally occurring acaricides are considered essential alternatives to synthetic options in treating Varroa mites.

Effect of spatial arrangement of push-pull companion plants on fall armyworm control and agronomic performance of two maize varieties in Ghana

Stephen Yeboah et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that push-pull farming practices effectively reduce fall armyworm infestation and damage, while significantly increasing maize yield in Ghana. Both conventional and spatially modified push-pull companion cropping systems show similar effectiveness in combating fall armyworm infestation.

Baseline Susceptibility of Spodoptera frugiperda Populations Collected in India towards Different Chemical Classes of Insecticides

Mahesh Kulye et al.

Summary: Fall armyworm (FAW) is a highly destructive moth pest that poses a major threat to maize production in India. Control measures rely on chemical insecticides and transgenic crop plants, but FAW has developed resistance to insecticides. Evaluating its susceptibility to different chemical classes of insecticides is crucial for effective management strategies.

Assessment of damage caused by evolved fall armyworm on native and transgenic maize in South Africa

Louis Bengyella et al.

Summary: The fall armyworm is a transboundary pest causing significant economic damage to maize crops in Africa, with some populations showing resistance to pesticides and Bt maize. Phylogenetic analysis revealed diverse evolution of fall armyworm lineages in Africa, suggesting multiple invasion routes and distinct haplotypes on the continent.
