“…Recent introductions of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), into the African continent (Goergen et al, 2016;Day et al, 2017;Stokstad, 2017;Devi, 2018) and Asian continent (Sharanabasappa et al, 2018;Ganiger et al, 2018;Sisodiya et al, 2018;Naeem-Ullah et al, 2019;Gilal et al, 2020) have caused extensive losses. Fall armyworm has been reported on more than 350 plant species including maize, rice, cotton, sorghum, spinach, carrot, onions, garlic, pot marigold, and sugarcane (Murúa et al, 2008;Barros et al, 2010;Campos et al, 2012;Devi, 2018;Montezano et al, 2018;Prasanna et al, 2018). Furthermore, its high fecundity (Sparks, 1979), long distance migrations (Rose et al, 2012), and its wide host range (Devi, 2018), could allow caterpillar to survive throughout the year in suburban and urban ecosystems (Tepa-Yotto et al, 2021).…”

The recent introduction of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) into Pakistan has resulted in millions of dollars of losses for maize production. Due to the wide host range, high fecundity, and long-distance migrations favoring fall armyworm establishment, it has the potential to cause significant damage to several crops in Pakistan. In the maize cropping system, potato is another important crop that is cultivated on vast hectares. Okara is considered the hub of both maize and potato production in Pakistan. The existence of fall armyworm on maize could possibly threaten the potato crop. To ascertain the extent of possible damage from fall armyworm, we conducted a comprehensive survey of the potato growing area of the Okara District, Punjab, Pakistan. We collected twelve larvae from potato damaged plants from three different locations lat. 30.813979o, long. 73.533934o; lat. 30.725032o, long. 73.730319o and latitude 30.646966o, long. 73.786563o. Collected larvae were identified as fall armyworm. The plants from which the larvae were collected have a visible single hole at the base of the stem, which resulted in a sudden decline of feeding tiller. To our knowledge, this is the first report of fall armyworm occurrence and its damage on potato crop in Pakistan

The use of plant varieties can affect the presence and extent of pest attacks. Resistant varieties will cause a lower attack rate compared to susceptible varieties. It is not yet known which varieties of maize are resistant to Fall armyworm (S. frugiperda) (FAW) in the field, because this pest is an invasive pest and entered Indonesia one year ago. Research has been carried out to study the distribution, population, and level of S. frugiperda attack on maize varieties planted by farmers in the field. The research was conducted at the first location this pest was reported in West Pasaman district, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Survey on farmers’ corn with a sampling method: purposive random sampling. Samples were taken from different varieties of corn and showed signs of S. frugiperda attack. Observations were made on the varieties planted by farmers, symptoms, larvae population, and S. frugiperda attack rate. The results of the observations were that several trademarks of maize varieties grown by farmers were: Pioneer 32, Pertiwi, Bisi 18, NK7328, and NK212. The symptoms of this pest attack were the same for all varieties of maize, while the attack rate was significantly different at the 5% level. The attack rate ranged from 6.0 to 96.0%. The lowest attack percentage was on variety Bisi18, and the highest was on variety NK212. The population of S. frugiperda larvae was found in all varieties of maize with an average of 0.70 larvae per stem.

In India, the invasive fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), has emerged as the most devastating pest of maize, Zea mays L., and is expanding its host range. In this study, we assessed its preference for feeding and oviposition in both choice and nonchoice bioassays including maize, sorghum, castor, cowpea, cotton, banana, and marigold as hosts. At 24 h after release in choice tests, the number of larvae was greatest on maize ears and lowest on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) leaves among the host plants tested. In nonchoice tests, third-instar larvae that fed on maize leaves and ears had the shortest growth periods (2.05 and 2.2 d, respectively) and the longest on marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) flowers (5.2 d). In oviposition preference tests, maize was the most preferred host, with the greatest number of egg masses deposited in choice and nonchoice tests compared with other hosts. Thus, maize was the most preferred host for fall armyworm in our tests, but fall armyworm may also survive on plants other than maize during the nongrowing season, posing a risk to other economically important crops in its expanded range in India.
