First Known Fall Armyworm Invasion in China Traced Back to December 2018
Chinese Academy of Sciences

The fall armyworm (FAW), scientifically known as Spodoptera frugiperda, has long posed a threat to the global agricultural sector due to its insatiable appetite for crops. Originating from the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, FAW is notorious for damaging over 350 plant species, including staples such as corn, rice, and wheat. In its invasive expansions, FAW has caused yield losses of up to 73% in some areas. Given its destructive potential, tracking its migration has become paramount for ensuring food security.
