“…Families and plant species that can be eaten by the larvae of S. frugiperda in this study are included in the families found by [8] stating that S. frugiperda can attack 78 plant families, including Poaceae and Convolvulaceae. For monocots, 13 plant species eaten by S. frugiperda larvae in this study were the host plants according to the research results, such as [13,15]. The leaves of 15 species of dicot plants eaten by S. frugiperda larvae were also reported by other studies, such as [19][20][21] as host plants of S. frugiperda.…”

The new invasive pest, fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) has been found in West Sumatra since March 2019 and also found in South Sumatera. S. frugiperda has attacked a lot of host plant species. A record of the fall armyworm host plant species is required to comprehend pest’s biology and ecology. The purpose of this study was to identify the host plant species of S. frugiperda. The surveys to collect and to record the host plants have been conducted in South Sumatra consisted of seven districts/cities of Ogan Ilir, Palembang, Lahat, Pagar Alam, Prabumulih, Muara Enim, and Banyuasin. This study has found 28 species of S. frugiperda host plants, such as Zea mays, Elaeis guineensis, Oryza sativa, Lactuca sativa, Brassica oleracea, Amaranthus hybridus, Cucumis sativus, Manihot esculenta, Vigna unguiculata, Arachis hypogaea, Persea americana, Fragaria ananassa, Rosa sp., Ipomoea aquatic, Ipomoea batatas, Solanum melongena. S. frugiperda host plants recorded were 14 plant families, specifically Areceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Musaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Amaranthaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Lauraceae, Rosaceae, Convolvulaceae, and Solanaceae. There were 13 species of monocot plants and 15 species of dicot plants that can be eaten by S. frugiperda. So, the S. frugiperda has lots of host plant species including monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.

“…This can be explained by the fact that mechanical weeding, which was the common weeding practice observed, could have mechanically damaged the pupae, exposed the pupae in the soil to harsh weather conditions, including direct sun heat and predators by removing the shading effect of the weeds. Weeds are known to be FAW reservoirs; this has been demonstrated in Brazil [ 54 ]. Although these weeds may also host FAW’s natural enemies [ 55 ], they may also host other pests, including cereal stemborers with which FAW share the same ecological niche and may contribute to the damage inflicted on the maize plants [ 56 , 57 ].…”

Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda J.E Smith, (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a serious invasive pest of maize that has been established in Kenya since 2016. Little is known about its co-occurrence with resident stemborers, relative infestation and damage and how agronomic factors influence its infestation and damage in maize cropping systems across different agro-ecological zones. This study assessed FAW co-occurrence with resident stemborers, relative infestation and damage across three agro-ecological zones, and the effects of different agronomic practices on its infestation and damage in maize cropping systems in Kenya. A total of 180 maize farms were surveyed across three different agro-ecological zones. FAW infestation and damage was highest in lowlands compared to mid-altitude and high-altitude lands. Its population (eggs and larvae) dominated that of resident stemborers in maize fields. Maize grown under mixed cropping systems, with rainfed production and weeded frequently had low infestation and damage compared to those grown under monoculture, with irrigation and no weeding, respectively. Young vegetative maize plants were more infested and damaged compared to mature plants. Different maize varieties were found to have different infestation and damage levels with Pioneer having the least damage. These results demonstrate that agronomic practices play a role in influencing FAW infestation and damage in maize cropping systems. Further, the population of FAW is dominating that of stemborers in maize cropping systems in Kenya, four years after its invasion. Thus, agronomic practices need to be considered while designing sustainable agro-ecological-based management solutions for resource-constrained smallholder farmers.

“…It has been reported in recent studies difficulty in controlling A. hybridus due the resistance to glyphosate, the main herbicide used for its control (García et al, 2020;Resende et al, 2022). Besides that, these plants can remain in crops becoming a green bridge for herbivorous insects that damage crops of interest reducing producer profit (Moraes et al, 2020).…”
