Performance of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda Reared on Various Horticultural Crops
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 309-320, April 2026.The developmental performance and reproductive success of the Australian population of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) were evaluated on five horticultural crops under laboratory conditions. Sweetcorn and bean supported rapid development, lower mortality, and higher fecundity (good performance); whereas capsicum, strawberry, and okra resulted in ...
