- 2019 Integrated Pest Management Innovation Lab Annual Report (2018-2019)(Virginia Tech, 2019)In FY 2019, the IPM Innovation Lab concentrated on developing technologies and management options for fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Africa and Asia. This pest was introduced to Nigeria by accident in early 2016, and by 2017, it had reached most of sub-Saharan Africa. In May 2018, it was detected in the Sivamogga hills in the southern part of India. Since then, it has spread to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The IPM IL addresses fall armyworm with emphasis on biological control, integrating it with other compatible technologies. Currently, steps are being taken to multiply and field release two naturalized parasitoids in Asia and Africa, Trichogramma spp. (Hym: Trichogrammatidae) and Telenomus remus Nixon (Hym.: Platygastridae), both known to be effective in suppressing the population of FAW in Central and South America. IPM IL has continued to transfer technologies developed within its eligible host countries to the rest of the globe by participating in and organizing symposia and workshops in national, regional, international conferences and meetings. In October 2018, IPM IL participated in the international workshop on FAW management in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. At the same time, surveys were conducted in maize fields in Ethiopia and the occurrence of the egg parasitoid, T. remus on eggs of FAW was confirmed. An awareness workshop on possible invasion of FAW into Nepal was conducted in Kathmandu, Nepal in November 2018. Based on the unconfirmed reports of the occurrence of FAW in Nepal in May 2019, IPM IL participated in an awareness and management workshop organized by the USAID mission in Nepal.

- A Guide to Biological Control of Fall Armyworm in Africa Using Egg ParasitoidsTefera, Tadele; Goftishu, Muluken; Ba, Malick N.; Muniappan, Rangaswamy (Muni) (Virginia Tech, 2019)The Integrated Pest Management Innovation Lab (IPM IL) has been addressing the Fall Armyworm (FAW) problem in Africa since May 2017, when it invaded Ethiopia. Even though FAW prefers maize, it is polyphagous and can infest over 300 species of plants. Several workshops supported by international organizations were held in different parts of Africa over the past three years; however, they mostly concentrated broadly on IPM approaches for FAW management on maize, with little or no emphasis given for management on other crops. The IPM IL has consistently focused on biological control of FAW since its involvement, as this approach can tackle this pest not only on maize but also on other crops, and additionally, it can suppress the pest on a farm, village, province, country, or regional basis depending upon the effort and resources that are made available. Further, it is compatible with joint application with all other IPM tactics in the field, except that of chemical pesticides, which would most likely impede processes using biological control. The IPM IL, in collaboration with icipe and ICRISAT-Niger, has identified egg parasitoids – Trichogramma spp. and Telenomus remus – and some larval parasitoids which attack FAW in Africa. It is known that these parasitoids are amenable for augmentative biological control and they are being used in augmentative biological control of FAW in the Caribbean and South America. This publication provides information on rearing and release of these parasitoids under African conditions. The IPM IL, icipe, and ICRISAT-Niger have already jointly conducted two workshops for participating countries in Africa and Asia.
