Webinar: Fall Armyworm: Genomics, Resistance & Surveillance
Managing FAW well means understanding where populations come from and how they move. It also means knowing how quickly they are adapting to the insecticides farmers rely on.
In this 90-minute webinar, three leading researchers share the latest science, from population genomics to insecticide-resistance surveillance. They will also discuss what it means for smarter, more sustainable management.

Genomics of Fall Armyworm Populations across the Indo-Pacific: Latest Research.
Speaker: Professor Wee Tek Tay, Macquarie University, Australia.
Agrochemicals Under Pressure: Managing FAW in a Resistance Era.
Speaker: Dr Shatrughan Shiva, Michigan State University, USA.
Fall Armyworm Resistance Surveillance: The Australian Experience.
