Prospecting of popcorn hybrids for resistance to fall armyworm

Genetics 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.

Disruption of Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Alters Aphid Resistance and Volatile Emissions in Sorghum

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jasmonic acid (JA)‐deficient msd3 sorghum mutants exhibit contrasting resistance phenotypes against sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari), which promotes aphid settling at early time points while providing antibiosis‐mediated resistance at later stages. Here we investigated the physiological, hormonal, and metabolic mechanisms underlying

The Controlled Release of Insect Pheromones From Biobased Thermoplastic Compounds for Sustainable Pest Management

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study advances sustainable pest management by characterizing novel insect‐specific pheromone compounds with a linear release profile. Release rate constants are derived from accelerated high‐temperature tests, enabling broadly applicable comparisons of pheromone‐polymer compounds.

Evidence that a major subpopulation of fall armyworm found in the Western Hemisphere is rare or absent in Africa, which may limit the range of crops at risk of infestation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The introduction and establishment of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in Africa presents a major threat to agriculture in that continent and potentially to the entire Eastern Hemisphere.

Fall Armyworm: Control with Insecticides

The Florida Entomologist, 1979
Control measures for fall armyworm, (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), vary with the crop and its stage of development. Generally, seedling plants sustain economic damage with fewer larvae/unit area than do more mature plants. Resistance to insecticides for control of the FAW has been demonstrated for carbaryl and trichlorfon, but not for ...

From Suitability to Invasion Risk: Integrating Correlative and Mechanistic Models for Predicting the Potential Distribution of the Red Palm Weevil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The invasive Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (RPW) causes severe economic and ecological damage to palm systems worldwide. This study develops a hybrid modeling framework integrating correlative ecological niche models and a temperature‐driven mechanistic risk index, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy (sensitivity = 0.98) compared to individual ...

Fall armyworm on seedling alfalfa [PDF]

, 1998
ISU field crop specialist Mark Carlton (south central Iowa) reported fall armyworm infestations on oats seeded with alfalfa and also on rye. We also got a call last Friday from a crop consultant reporting seedling alfalfa damage. It seemed that the oats (

Topic: Smallholder Farmers' Adaptation Practices to the Effects of Land Degradation on Livelihoods in Semi‐Arid Ghana

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11459-11473, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Although several environmental challenges exist globally, land degradation is the greatest threat and risk factor wedging human livelihoods. Despite widespread awareness of climate change, little empirical evidence exists on land degradation and its impacts on livelihoods in semi‐arid agroecological systems.
