Abstract The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is native to the neotropics and invaded Africa Asia in 2016 2018, respectively, Nepal 2019. Even though it a polyphagous pest, population that reached prefers maize. As parasitoids predators form first line of defense against new invaders, study conducted identified 9 species parasitoids, namely, 2 eggs, 1 egg-larval, 4 larval, larval-pupal, pupal parasitoid FAW. A comparison was made on list FAW recorded other countries Africa. Feed Future Integrated Pest Management Lab, involved human institutional capacity building for survey, collection, identification, multiplication national augmentative biological control program has been developed included as component IPM package maize Nepal.

Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), commonly known as fall armyworm, was first detected in Uganda 2016 and has spread to all the maize-growing districts. Different methods have been deployed control this pest. However, there is a limited understanding of role environment farmers’ practices on abundance damage by S. Uganda. This study, therefore, assessed leaf levels three different districts explored association between agronomic practices, crop phenology, weather parameters smallholder maize fields using longitudinal monitoring survey 69 Kole, Kiryandongo, Nakaseke for seasons. The numbers egg masses adults were generally low. highest trapped followed Nakaseke, lowest Kole. Leaf incidence damaged plants differed significantly larvae varied at growth stages. Conservation tillage, reduced weeding frequency, increased rainfall high maximum temperatures associated with damage. No significant relationship observed pesticide or cropping systems influence fertilizer use contradictory across seasons Timely vigilant scouting, proper timing measures, minimum tillage should be included an IPM strategy frugiperda.
