Abstract
The Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) has spread rapidly and
has a significant impact on maize/corn production in several parts of the
world. The pest was discovered in India in 2018 and has since become a
significant risk to maize/corn cultivation, resulting in severe economic
losses. This review aims to assess the status of Fall Armyworm in India,
focusing on its biology and behaviour, impact on maize crops, management
strategies, and ongoing research efforts. Despite various control actions being
implemented, the pest continues to pose challenges for both farmers and researchers.
The review concludes with a discussion of how to manage invasive pests with
integrated pest management (IPM) strategies and future directions.
