Consider when applying controls that fall armyworm frass (excrement) becomes so heavy that it can create a plug which prevents penetration of the insecticide into the whorl where the larvae may be feeding. If control is necessary, contact your state Cooperative Extension Service or click here for control materials and rates The fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a crop pest species that has become global, having spread from its native American distribution to Africa and Asia since 2016. Its rapid spread, plus concerns about potential yield losses, have led to the search for sustainable management options

Package of Practice (POP) for the management of Fall Army Worm (FAW) in Sorghum Package of Practices (POPs) for the Management of FAW in Grain corn, Sweet corn, Baby corn and Fodder maiz Background: This paper documents farmer perceptions and management practices for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiderda J.E. Smith), providing a baseline for the development of sustainable pest management strategies. Results: 91% of farmers correctly identified fall armyworm, and reported it as the most important maize pest during 2016/2017 cropping season, affecting nearly half of cultivated area While fall armyworms can damage corn plants in nearly all stages of development, it will concentrate on later plantings that have not yet silked. Like European corn borer, fall armyworm can only be effectively controlled while the larvae are small. Early detection and proper timing of an insecticide application are critical
The fall armyworm differs in tolerance to pesticides and other life-history traits important in pest-management practices. It appears it is, in fact, undergoing incipient speciation (Pashley, 1986).

Fall Armyworm R4D and Management. The fall armyworm ( Spodoptera frugiperda; FAW), an insect-pest native to the Americas, has been a persistent and serious pest of maize for over a century. Public and private sector scientists in the Americas - particularly in Brazil and the United States - have developed and deployed effective strategies. Two species of armyworms, the armyworm and the western yellowstriped armyworm, are found in rice fields in mid-summer.Spring and early summer generations are spent on other plants. When other food sources are depleted, larvae of either species may migrate into rice paddies, or adult moths may fly into the rice field to lay eggs.. The armyworm moth lays its eggs in linear masses with the leaf.
