“…The initial discovery of FAW infestation in Gujarat's finger millet crop took place in October 2020, resulting in damage levels ranging from 26.22% to 46.82% (Damasia et al 2020). According to Krishnarao et al (2021), Telangana had the highest incidence of infestation, followed by Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.…”

The Fall Army Worm (FAW), scientifically referred to as Spodoptera frugiperda, originally emerged in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. Its migration to Africa in 2016 and subsequent spread to Asia, reaching India in May 2018, raised significant concerns about the adaptable pest’s expansion. Karnataka was the first state in India to report FAW, and by 2018 and early 2019, it had spread throughout peninsular India and the North and North East regions. This highly resilient insect has the ability to infest over 100 different plant species, making it a formidable pest. FAW has two dominant strains: the corn strain ‘C,’ affecting maize, sorghum, and cotton, and the rice strain ‘R,’ affecting rice and other grasses. The damage caused by FAW varies, posing a substantial threat to agriculture. The use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies has been shown to be effective in controlling FAW. Bio-rational pesticides, including Metarrhizium rileyi and Nomuraea rileyi, along with parasitoids like Telenomus sp., Trichogramma sp., Glyptapanteles creatonoti, and Campoletis chloridae, play a crucial role in managing the pest. Semiochemicals such as (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate and habitat management methods like Push-Pull technology also contribute to successful control. Chemical insecticides like chlorantraniliprole, spinetoram, thiamethoxam, and lambda cyhalothrin can be utilized to combat FAW. However, it is essential to note that early larval chemical control is more effective than late-stage intervention. The goal of this report is to emphasize the prevalence of FAW and to demonstrate the effective management techniques that have been used to minimize its effects.

“…By the end of 2017 it has covered most of the Sub-Saharan Africa (Njuguna et al, 2021). In May 2018, it was found in the Shivamogga region of the Karnataka state in southern India (Sharanabasappa et al, 2018a) and before the end of that year, it has spread to Bangladesh (Alam et al, 2018), Myanmar (FAO, 2019), Thailand (FAO, 2018), and China (Sun et al, 2021). In 2019, it was reported from Nepal (Bajracharya et al, 2019), Sri Lanka (Perera et al, 2019), Pakistan (EPPO, 2020), Indonesia (Trisyono et al, 2019), the Philippines (Navasero et al, 2019) and Vietnam (Hang et al, 2020).…”

Fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smtih) is a native of the neotropics and it has invaded Nigeria region of Africa in 2016 and reached India in May 2018. Since then it has spread to most of the South and Southeast Asian countries, Australia and recently reached New Zealand and some South Pacific islands. Even though FAW has many hosts in its native region, the population that reached Africa and spread to Asia and Oceania prefers maize the most. In its biology, the capability of adults to fly more than 100 km in a night, females laying eggs in clusters of 100 or more to a maximum of 2,000 eggs in five days of their lifetime, later instar larvae becoming cannibalistic, pupating in soil, not diapausing and inability to survive at temperatures below 10oC, offers a unique opportunity to devise an effective management strategy. The IPM package for maize incorporating management of FAW involve: seed treatment with a systemic insecticide to protect young plants up to three weeks after planting; release of egg parasitoids Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and Telenomus remus (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) immediately after finding FAW moths caught in the pheromone traps in the field; and release of larval parasitoids Bracon (Habrobracon) hebetor, and Bracon (Habrobracon) brevicornis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and treating with bio- and botanical pesticides, when whorl damage in observed.
