The introduction of fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on the African continent has led to paradigm shifts in pest control in maize systems, occasioned by year-round populations. The discovery of resident parasitoid species adapting to the new pest significantly informed decision-making toward avoiding highly hazardous synthetic insecticides to control the pest. A number of biopesticides have shown promise against the fall armyworm, providing a new arsenal for the sustainable management of this invasive pest. However, a few knowledge gaps remain for a fully integrated and sustainable FAW-management approach, particularly on host-resistance potential.
秋黏虫（FAW）Spodoptera frugiperda（JE Smith）（鳞翅目：夜蛾科）在非洲大陆的引入，导致了玉米系统中害虫防治的范式转变，原因是全年都有这种害虫。发现适应新害虫的常驻寄生性物种，这为避免使用高度危险的合成杀虫剂来控制这种害虫的决策提供了重要信息。一些生物农药对秋黏虫表现出了希望，为可持续管理这种入侵性害虫提供了新的手段。然而，对于一种完全综合和可持续的 FAW 管理方法，仍然存在一些知识差距，特别是在寄主抗性潜力方面。
