Abstract

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a major and destructive crop insect pest of maize worldwide. This highly invasive pest species originates from the Americas and has recently spread across more than 100 countries. This pest was first reported in China in January 2019 from Yunnan Province and has become the most damaging lepidopteran pest in maize. In the past 3 years, Chinese entomologists have made significant progress in understanding the migration routes and dispersal of FAW in China, as well as its invasion biology, prevention, and control. In this review, we summarize the main progress in understanding and managing FAW in China while learning from the experience in Africa, where it invaded in early 2016, and propose research to develop integrated pest management strategies for this pest in the future, which will contribute to the sustainable management of S. frugiperda.
