“…The moth is a sporadic and long‐distant migratory pest, and an adult can fly over 100 km in a single night (Johnson, 1987). The FAW invaded West and Central Africa in early 2016 (Goergen et al., 2016), Kanataka, India, in early May–June 2018 (Deshmukh et al., 2018), and Jiangcheng County in Yunnan Province in southwestern China in January 2019 (Yang et al., 2019). In mid‐May, the FAW subsequently spread throughout the region of Jiangxi Province, Southeast China (from 24.5°N, 113.6°E to 30.08°N, 118.5°E), and caused significant crop losses in corn, which was more severe than the damage caused by the Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis .…”

The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) is an economically important pest that is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, where it is well known as a key pest of corn (Barfield et al., 1978;Garcia et al., 2018;Sparks, 1979). The FAW cannot survive the winter in temperate North America because it cannot enter a diapause. The regions in the United States in which FAW overwinters are southern Florida and southern Texas (Barfield et al., 1978;Johnson, 1987). The moth is a sporadic and long-distant

Spodoptera frugiperda, commonly known as Fall Armyworm (FAW), is amongst the most terrifying pests of maize in Latin America, which unexpectedly appeared in Nepal in 2019 and spread expeditiously. Estimates of maize crop losses due to this pest are vital in order to compare the effect of these losses with the convenient of controlling FAW and suggest pertinent controlling technology and methods. Nepal is predominantly an agrarian nation thus, maize is grown substantially. However, climatic conditions of Nepal favor the outbreaks of pests such as FAW in many maize grown areas. On the grounds that most of the people of hill and mountainous regions depend on maize for their staple food, pests have appeared to be a great threat to cereal production. It causes considerable injuries to maize by feeding on leaf whorls, ears and tassel which often leads to total yield loss. Yet, agriculture is an economic activity, even among subsistence farmers in Nepal. Seeing high potential losses caused by FAW, different control methods have been proposed. This pest demands meticulous and stepwise plan for its management. This review emphasized on adoption of IPM methods of pests’ control, which is the integration of biological, cultural, physical, chemical, and technological approaches. Meanwhile, early warning systems, though poorly developed in Nepal, can be highlighted for further studies and for further research work.

“…It feeds heavily on leaves and can cause up to 100% yield loss in cereals [21]. Synthetic pesticides have been widely used as a tool in fall armyworm control [22]. However, pest resistance has been a concern, and it leads to more frequent applications, increased product dosage or use of more toxic alternative products, which consequently come at an increased cost and are harmful to the environment [23].…”

“…Carbamates, pyrethroids and organophosphates, which are majorly used by African farmers, have faced resistance from the fall armyworms [21]. Moreover, synthetic pesticides have raised concerns about pesticide residues, toxicity to non-target organisms and environmental problems [22,23]. As an alternative, there is a global focus on botanical insect control products that have proven to be effective and are less harmful to humans and the environment [24].…”

Laboratory and Greenhouse Evaluation of Melia volkensii Extracts for Potency against African Sweet Potato Weevil, Cylas puncticollis, and Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda

The African sweet potato weevil, Cylas puncticollis, and fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, are insect pests of economic importance that have a negative impact on sweet potato and maize production, respectively. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of Melia volkensii extracts to protect sweet potato and maize plants against damage by both insect pests. We evaluated extracts from the bark, leaves, pulp and nuts of Melia volkensii for antifeedant activity against C. puncticollis and S. exigua (used as a substitute for S. frugiperda), under laboratory conditions. Interestingly, extracts of all plant parts showed antifeedant activity. These results led us to investigate the effectiveness of nut and pulp extracts to protect sweet potato and maize crops in greenhouse conditions. Against C. puncticollis, the sweet potato plants treated with nut extracts showed the lowest tuber damage (18%) when compared to pulp extracts (30%), positive control (33%) and negative control (76%). Nut extracts, pulp extracts and positive control reduced maize leaf and whorl damage by S. frugiperda compared to the negative control. Altogether, this study highlights the potential of M. volkensii extracts and their application in integrated insect pest management
