25 Maize and Rice Strains Both strains occur in Africa Both strains seem to spread together Florida haplotype was identified in Togo Both strains attack maize in Africa

26 INTRODUCTION TO AFRICA (Matthew Cock et al 2017) It is intercontinental introduction Might have happened as eggs, larvae, pupae or adults or combinations of these Possible pathways of introduction: Unaided dispersal Contaminant of a commodity Stowaway on a vector

27 DISPERSAL (Matthew Cock et al 2017) Unaided dispersal Strong flier, Prevailing trade winds from Americas to Africa do not favor Contaminant of a commodity European Union interceptions on Capsicum peppers -11 on other Solanum spp. - 8 on other parts of plants Minimal trade in fresh produce between Americas and Africa indicates chances of transmission through this route is small

28 DISPERSAL (Matthew Cock et al 2017) Stowaway on a direct flight More likely In a 1950 study, of 9000 aircraft from South America and Caribbean to Miami, 98 had lepidopteran eggs Pre-oviposition female moths could be carried in cargo holds or wheel bays

29 SPREAD WITHIN AFRICA Unaided dispersal by flight Through contaminant Were there multiple introductions?

30 Biology of S. frugiperda

31 Egg mass Eggs are dome shaped Dirty white to gray in color. Laid in groups of about eggs per egg mass Eggs may be laid in a single or in two or more layers progressively superimposed on each other

32 Egg mass Mostly laid on lower surface of the leaves Eggs are covered by a layer of grayish scales or hairs giving it a hairy or moldy appearance. Eggs hatch in about three to five days in summer.

33 Six larval instars Fully-grown larvae are cm long Larva Vary in color from pale green to almost black Three yellowish stripes running down the back Wider dark stripe and a wavy yellow-red blotched stripe on each side Predominant white, inverted Y-shaped suture on the head Larval duration is about 14 days during the summer and 30 days during cool weather

34 Larval Behavior Initially, newly hatched larvae feed near where the egg mass was laid. Later, they move up onto the maize plants and consume leaf tissue excluding the veins and midrib. The larvae exhibit cannibalistic behavior. Under heavy infestations, the larval densities are often reduced to one or two per plant Does not undergo diapause Killed by winter weather

35 Pupa Pupation normally takes place in the soil at a depth of 2-8 cm. The pupa is reddish brown in color. Pupal duration is about eight to nine days during the summer, but may be longer than two weeks under winter conditions Does not diapause over winter

36 Adult The adult moths have a wingspan of 32 to 40 mm Males have dark gray and brown shaded mottled forewings with conspicuous triangular white spots at the tip and near the center of the wing The hind wing is iridescent silver-white with a narrow dark border in both sexes Adults are nocturnal, and are most active at dusk for mating Adults can live up to an average of 10 days but sometimes the duration extends up to three weeks

37 Prefers young maize plants Damage on Maize Its attacks all stages of maize plant, foliar consumption is the major factor Generally feeds on foliage, but during heavy infestations, also feed on maize ears Foliar damage characterized by ragged feeding, and moist sawdust-like frass near the whorl and upper leaves of the plant Indirect effects on grain production

38 Damage on Maize Young larvae feed on one side of leaves leaving the epidermis intact on other side Older larvae feed by making holes in leaves and eat from the edge of the leaves inward Larval feeding causes extensive defoliation Larvae can also burrow into the growing point and affect the growth of plants Larvae sometimes bore into the ear through the husk and feed on kernels

39 Damage on Maize

40 Economic losses Outbreaks of Fall Armyworm have been reported in several countries in Africa Around 330,000 hectares of staple crops, especially maize, have been affected The remaining African countries remain at high risk. The severity of the impact on regional crop production is yet to be established

41 Monitoring Often done by using blacklight traps and pheromone traps Pheromone traps are very efficient, suspended at canopy height Insect catches indicate the presence of moths in the area but not good indicators of density Once the moths are detected, search for eggs and larvae To assess the proportion of plants infested, random sampling of 20 plants in five locations, or 10 plants in 10 locations, is considered adequate

42 Chemicals in Pheromone lure The FAW sex pheromone was reported by Tumlinson et al. (1986) A mixture of (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-ol acetate, (Z)-9-14:Ac; (Z)-7-dodecen- 1-ol acetate, (Z)-7-12:Ac; (Z)-9-dodecen-1-ol acetate, (Z)-9-12:Ac and (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol acetate, (Z)-11-16:Ac In the ratio of 81: 0.5: 0.5: 18, respectively

44 Physical control Cultural practices Host plant resistance Biological control Chemical control IPM Control methods

45 Handpicking egg masses and larvae Deep plowing to kill pupae in the soil Placing sand or ash in the whorls Cultural control Intercropping with beans has shown to reduce the FAW infestations by percent.

48 Chemical Control Insecticides main control option: > 25 % plants damaged Spot treatment for isolated areas effective Late afternoon or early morning- best time Recommended insecticides: pyrethroids, carbamates and organophosphates Granular insecticides for young plants (whorl stage)

49 Chemical Control Limitations -Concealed larvae -Expensive and not affordable -Appropriate safety procedures may not be implemented on regular basis -Personal protective equipment not available -Increased risk of exposure -Resistance development

50 Insecticide resistance First noted in 1979, FAW collected from a maize in Tifton, Georgia (U.S.) was shown to be resistant to carbaryl. In 1991, a strain of FAW collected from maize in northern Florida (U.S.) showed resistance to commonly used insecticides. Also shown resistance to current pesticides

51 Insecticide resistance management Treat when needed: follow insect pest pressure and thresholds. Conservation Biological control Augmentation biological control Don t treat successive generations with products of the same mode of action Use an approximately 30 day window to conduct sprays of insecticides of the same mode of action Do not apply products of the same mode of action over more than 50% of the crop cycle

52 Insecticides recommended for use Active ingredient Abamectin Acetamiprid acetamiprid + lambda cyhalothrin Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) var. kurstaki Bifenthrin Beauveria bassiana Carbaryl Chlorantraniliprole Trade name Abba Gazelle Thuricide Capture Sevin

55 Bayer crop science BELT SC 480 Flubendiamide *** Cancelled By EPA in U.S. Larvicide Effective against FAW Paralyses caterpillars within 1-2 hours of application

56 Host plant resistance Transgenic/ BT maize varieties Several varieties on the market that suppress/control FAW and other lepidopteran pests. CIMMYT is addressing this aspect

57 Biological control Classical: involves introducing natural enemies from a pest's native range into a new area where native natural enemies do not provide control. Augmentative: involves the massive production and release of natural enemies to control the pest quickly. Conservation: involves conservation of existing natural enemies in an environment as these natural enemies are already adapted to the habitat and to the target pest, and their conservation can be simple and cost-effective

95 Researchable Areas for Mitigation Adoption of trap crops. (castor plants to attract moths to lay eggs; planting young maize plants in mature crops) Application of Neem seed extract or commercial neem formulations. Survey of FAW locally recruited natural enemies and recording them on a regional and continental basis. Multiplication of effective egg/larval parasitoids in the lab for augmentative release.

96 Researchable Areas for Mitigation Consideration of classical biological control by introducing effective exotic natural enemies, if local natural enemies proven not effective Explore push and pull technique Use of Bacillus thuringiensis, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and NPV Hand-picking caterpillars in small gardens Plow the field after harvest to kill pupae in the soil

97 Researchable Areas for Mitigation Screening insecticides for efficacy Use of selected insecticides Use of resistant varieties if available Use of GMO s (where approved)
