  • The Fall Armyworm – a Pest of Pasture and Hay
    The Fall Armyworm – A Pest of Pasture and Hay. Allen Knutson Extension Entomologist, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center, Dallas, 2019 revision The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a common pest of bermudagrass, sorghum, corn, wheat and rye grass and many other crops in north and central Texas. Larvae of fall armyworms are green, brown or black with white to yellowish lines running from head to tail. A distinct white line between the eyes forms an inverted “Y” pattern on the face. Four black spots aligned in a square on the top of the segment near the back end of the caterpillar are also characteristic. Armyworms are very small (less than 1/8 inch) at first, cause little plant damage and as a result often go unnoticed. Larvae feed for 2-3 weeks and full grown larvae are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches long. Given their immense appetite, great numbers, and marching ability, fall armyworms can damage entire fields or pastures in a few days. Once the armyworm larva completes feeding, it tunnels into the soil to a depth of about an inch and enters the pupal stage. The armyworm moth emerges from the pupa in about ten days and repeats the life cycle. The fall armyworm moth has a wingspan of about 1 1/2 inches. The front pair of wings is dark gray with an irregular pattern of light and dark areas. Moths are active at night when they feed on nectar and deposit egg masses. A single female can deposit up to 2000 eggs and there are four to five generations per year.

  • Fall Armyworm
    How to identify... Fall armyworm Fall armyworm or ‘American armyworm’ is a new pest in Africa that is currently attacking maize. This pest originates from the Americas, but it has recently been found in several countries in West and Southern Africa. This guide will help you to recognize fall armyworm and tell it apart from similar caterpillars such as other armyworms, stalk borers and cut worms. IDENTIFICATION Half-grown or fully grown caterpillars are the easiest to identify. Fall armyworm caterpillars have a characteristic pattern of dark pimples (spots) on their backs, each spot has a short bristle (hair). Although the skin looks rough it is smooth to the touch. Look out for four dark spots forming a square on the second to last segment (red circle). Each of the other body segments also has four spots, but they do not from a square pattern (yellow circle). The head is dark and shows a characteristic upside down Y-shaped pale marking on the front (blue circle). ©Russ Ottens, Bugwood.org ✔ ©Russ Ottens, Bugwood.org ✔ ©Russ Ottens, Bugwood.org ✔ Other armyworms, maize stem borer and cotton bollworm ©Donald Hobern, Denmark Hobern, ©Donald ✘ Denmark Hobern, ©Donald ✘ The cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) often shows a similar pattern of dots on its back, but its head is usually paler, and although they can also show an inverted Y this is usually a similar colour to the rest of the head.

Every year, the new generation of fall armyworms from Southeast Asia flies to East Asia via Yunnan, and some of them will grow, develop and reproduce in Yunnan since the geographical location and environmental conditions of Yunnan are very beneficial for the colonization of fall armyworms.

  • The Armyworm in New Brunswick
    ISBN 978-1-4605-1679-9 The Armyworm in New Brunswick Mythimna unipuncta (Haworth) Synonym: Pseudaletia unipuncta (Haworth) Family: Noctuidae - Owlet moths and underwings Importance The armyworm attacks mainly grasses. Crops attacked include: corn, forage grasses (timothy, fescues, etc.) and small grains such as oat, wheat, barley, rye and other small grains. Infestations in New Brunswick may be local or widespread and occur on irregular intervals, anywhere from 12 to 20 years. An outbreak occurs when local infestations become widespread. There have been a few reports when infestations have reoccurred at the same locations for a few years in a row in southern NB. Periodic outbreaks have caused widespread damage in southern and southwestern parts of the province. Life History In the spring, storm fronts carry these moths northward from the southern United States, or some moths may emerge locally in some areas of Canada. However, moths are seldom seen since they are active at night. Female moths lay eggs after 7 days and may lay up to 2000 eggs. Eggs are laid in clusters of 25 to 134 on grass or small grain leaves. Females live up to 17 days. Eggs are laid in folded leaves or leaf sheaths in early to late June and hatch in three weeks. In NB larvae appear from mid-June to the end of July. Larvae pass through 6 instars (the stage of development between successive moults) which takes 3 to 4 weeks. (A small percentage will develop to a 7th instar at low temperatures.) Larvae reach a length of 35 mm long when mature.

W., Phiri, N., Pratt, C., Tambo, J. KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE Executive Summary This Evidence Note provides new evidence on the distribution and impact of FAW in Africa, summarises research and development on control methods, and makes recommendations for sustainable management of the pest. FAW biology FAW populations in Africa include both the ‘corn strain’ and the ‘rice strain’. In Africa almost all major damage has been recorded on maize. FAW has been reported from numerous other crops in Africa but usually there is little or no damage. At the moment managing the pest in maize remains the overriding priority. In Africa FAW breeds continuously where host plants are available throughout the year, but is capable of migrating long distances so also causes damage in seasonally suitable environments. There is little evidence on the relative frequency of these two scenarios. Studies show that natural enemies (predators and parasitoids) in Africa have “discovered” FAW, and in some places high levels of parasitism have already been found. Distribution and Spread FAW in Africa Rapid spread has continued and now 44 countries in Africa are affected. There are no reports from North Africa, but FAW has reached the Indian Ocean islands including Madagascar. Environmental suitability modelling suggests almost all areas suitable for FAW in sub-Saharan Africa are now infested.

M. loreyi is a native species in East Asia for a long time. However, this species has recently emerged as a migration (or invasive from other Asian countries) pest of some cereal crops in Korea. Little is known about its basic biology, ecology, and it is difficult to identify the morphologically similar species, Mythimna separate, which occur at the cornfield in the larvae stage. Species diagnosis methods for invasive pests have been developed and utilized for this reason. Currently, the molecular biology method for diagnosing M. loreyi species is only using the mtCO1 universal primer (LCO1490, HCO2198) and process PCR and sequencing to compare the degree of homology. However, this method requires a lot of time and effort. In this study, we developed the LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) assay for rapid, simple, and effective species diagnosis.
