Maize Yield Response to Chemical Control of Spodoptera frugiperda at Different Plant Growth Stages in South Africa

Johnnie van den Berg et al.

Summary: This study investigated the control of fall armyworm in maize through four field trials, finding that plants protected in early growth stages experienced lower yield losses compared to those protected in later stages. Multiple insecticide applications did not lead to further yield gains.

Factors influencing the occurrence of fall armyworm parasitoids in Zambia

Lena Durocher-Granger et al.

Summary: Invasive alien species pose a significant threat to food production for smallholder farmers in Africa, leading to an increasing interest in research on biological control options. Field surveys in Zambia have shown that conservation biological control programs have the potential to enhance the control of fall armyworm by increasing local populations of natural enemies.

Evaluation of African Maize Cultivars for Resistance to Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae

Xavier Chiriboga Morales et al.

Summary: This study evaluated resistance of different maize cultivars in Kenya to fall armyworm larvae feeding, finding that while there were differences in acceptance and preference among cultivars, complete resistance was not observed. The smallest pupal weight and lowest growth index were on 'SC Duma 43', indicating potential antibiosis effects against the larvae. Plant damage scores did not differ significantly between cultivars under natural or artificial infestation, but some cultivars showed lower damage scores in later samplings under artificial infestation.

Global crop impacts, yield losses and action thresholds for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda): A review

Kathy Overton et al.

Summary: The fall armyworm is a highly polyphagous plant pest that severely impacts yields of various crops, with management strategies affecting yield loss and economic thresholds differing significantly. Standardized methods are needed to measure fall armyworm pressures effectively.

Eiphosoma laphygmae, a classical solution for the biocontrol of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda?

Tabea Allen et al.

Summary: The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a highly damaging cereal pest in the tropics and the ichneumonid parasitoid, Eiphosoma laphygmae, shows potential as a classical biological control agent, parasitizing on average 4.5% of fall armyworm. However, the actual parasitism rates may be underestimated due to sampling biases.

A deadly encounter: Alien invasive Spodoptera frugiperda in Africa and indigenous natural enemy, Cotesia icipe (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)

Samira Abuelgasim Mohamed et al.

Summary: The invasion and spread of Spodoptera frugiperda pose a significant threat to maize and sorghum farming communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Current efforts focused on synthetic pesticides are economically unviable and environmentally hazardous, making biological control using parasitoids like Cotesia icipe a more sustainable alternative. This study found that C. icipe preferentially targets younger larval stages of the pest and identified suitable habitats for its establishment in current and future climates.

Agrometeorological Requirements of Maize Crop Phenology for Sustainable Cropping-A Historical Review for Romania

Sorin Daniel Vatca et al.

Summary: The study highlighted the inconsistencies in temperature requirements for maize crop phenology, particularly in the leaf development stage and fruit development stage where the minimum temperature interval overlaps with the optimum. The findings contribute to the establishment of comparable records at regional and global scales.
