Susceptibility of <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> to Commercial Entomopathogenic Fungi Formulations in South Africa

Susceptibility of <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> to Commercial Entomopathogenic Fungi Formulations in South Africa

Chemical control using synthetic insecticides is the most widely used method for controlling the fall armyworm (FAW), <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the application of insecticides is not a long-term or sustainable...
