Experiment Title Multilocation Survey on Natural Enemies of Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith)
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Fall Armyworm (FAW) or Spodoptera frugiperda, is an insect that is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. In the absence of natural control or good management, it can cause significant damage to crops. It prefers maize, but can feed on more than 80 additional species of crops, including rice, sorghum, millet, sugarcane, vegetable crops and cotton. FAW was first detected in Central and Western Africa in early 2016 and has quickly spread across virtually all of Sub-Saharan Africa. In July 2018, it was confirmed in India. Because of trade and the moth's strong flying ability, it has the potential to spread further. Farmers will need great support through Integrated Pest Management to sustainability manage FAW in their cropping systems. In Gujarat, severe infestation was observed in maize. By considering this, the present study will be carried out to know the status on natural parasitization of invasive pest-FAW in South Gujarat Agro-climatic Zone II (AES-V).
