Why attending this webinar?

Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (FAW) can cause unprecedented impacts to, particularly maize (Zeamays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), rice (Oryza sativa), and other crops – if not managed properly. The introduction and spread of this pest should be prevented where still possible. None of the more than 70 countries in which FAW has been detected has been able to eradicate this pest, and significant pest populations have been established in most of the affected countries.
