Sustainable Management of the fall Armyworm in Africa FAO Programme for Action 6 October 2017 Executive Summary The invasive insect pest, fall Armyworm , FAW (Spodoptera frugiperda) continues to spread across Africa, affecting millions of smallholder maize producers across the continent. In addition to its preferred maize, FAW can feed on more than 80 plant species, including rice, sorghum, millet, sugarcane, vegetable crops and cotton. FAW can cause significant yield losses if not well managed or in the absence of natural biological control. Unlike quarantine pests under official control or insects with gregarious behaviour ( some locust species), FAW does not lend itself to official, centralized control. FAW moths oviposit directly on maize plants, where the larvae feed and live. They are one more risk that farmers face in growing maize. The direct actions that can be taken to manage FAW are largely up to farmers in their fields.
