Forest fragments' contribution to the natural biological control of Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Maize

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011
The present work evaluated the influence of forest distance on predatory solitary wasps' abundance and richness and its relation to the natural biological control of the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda Smith - Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in maize.

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Genetic characterization of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in Ecuador and comparisons with regional populations identify likely migratory relationships.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is an important agricultural pest native to the Americas that has recently been introduced into the Eastern Hemisphere where it has spread rapidly through most of Africa and much of Asia.

Effect of Surfactants on Beet Armyworm and Fall Armyworm Larvae, 1994 [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Management Tests, 1995
Abstract Six commercially-available surfactants/ wetting agents were compared to determine their toxic effects on beet armyworm and fall armyworm larvae. Larvae used in this study were obtained from the USDA-ARS Insect Biology and Population Management Research Lab in Tifton, GA, and were 4-days-old on the day of treatment.

Time‐Course of Attainment and Reversal of Thermal Acclimation in the Invasive Fall Armyworm

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Heat acclimation was elicited within minutes with stronger responses at higher temperatures while cold acclimation provided no measurable plastic benefit in the invasive fall armyworm. Prolonged high‐temperature acclimation enhanced heat tolerance and delayed reversal of physiological gains while reversal of acclimation was temperature‐dependent ...

Mitigating the impact of the invasive fall armyworm: evidence from South Asian farmers and policy recommendations

open access: yes, 2023
 Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is an invasive pest in South Asia. The current paper documents farmers’ perceptions of fall armyworm in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal and explores the current management practices adopted by farmers.

A fractional-order fall armyworm-maize biomass model with naturally beneficial insects and optimal farming awareness

open access: yesResults in Applied Mathematics, 2021
Maize remains an important food crop in Africa. However, the production of this crop, and consequently the livelihood of the growers are threatened by the invasion and widespread infestation of the fall armyworm which causes substantial maize yield ...

Assessing Predator Activity on Clay Models in Response to Common Insecticides in Turfgrass

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insecticides exhibited clear but time‐dependent effects on predatory activity, as reflected by impression types and density on clay models in turfgrass. Certain insecticides (bifenthrin, and in some cases acephate + imidacloprid, imidacloprid, chlorantraniliprole, and tetraniliprole) reduced total impressions shortly after application and again later ...

Prospecting of popcorn hybrids for resistance to fall armyworm

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Research, 2014
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is the pest that causes the greatest economic losses for both common corn and popcorn crops, and the use of resistant plant genotypes is an important tool for integrated pest management. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the damage caused by S.
