Fall Armyworm (FAW; Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Moth Oviposition and Crop Protection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Olfactory Concepts of Insect Control - Alternative to insecticides

Abstract

In plant-herbivore insect interaction, moths have developed different odour-related behaviours to choose preferred hosts, evade plant defences and guarantee the offspring fitness. Fall armyworm (FAW) is a voracious polyphagous insect pest originally from the Western hemisphere that targets some of the most important crops Worldwide. Due to its aggressiveness as pest and high adaptability to adverse environments, the need for new pest control strategies is constant. The study of FAW behaviours to efficiently manage field populations and improve crop protection is of great interest to entomologists and plant scientists alike. This chapter presents an overview of fall armyworm as crop pest, highlighting some behavioural adaptations of ovipositing female moths that may undermine the effectiveness of existing crop protection practices if are not taken into account. Furthermore, this chapter addresses the recent use of novel ground-breaking gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 to functionally investigate the olfactory system in moths of Spodoptera sp. that will offer opportunities for the development of new pest control strategies.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
