Addressing a Significant Food Security Threat: Spodoptera frugiperda Invasion in Africa, Asia and Australia

2: Africa, Asia and armyworms: Advancing agriculture and advocating action against an aggressive assault

Wednesday, November 18, 2020
2:35 PM - 2:50 PM EST
Livestream
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is an invasive pest of maize, Zea mays, in Africa and Asia that threatens food security on both continents, especially for smallholder farmers. The larvae are damaging to all above-ground plant stages and yield losses can be substantial if not properly managed. In this presentation we will review some of Corteva's educational successes, and challenges, to develop and deliver technical education training to maize producers in developing market geographies.
