A management guide for fall armyworm (FAW) has been developed by AUSVEG, with assistance from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Queensland (DAF), and is now available online!

New pest information resource:

• Management of fall armyworm in vegetable crops in Australia (November 2021)

This resource outlines the management of FAW in vegetable crops in Australia and discusses important aspects of pest biology, damage, and identification. Integrated pest management is key to efficient control of FAW, and this resource discusses the current knowledge available in Australia for chemical and biological control methods.

Early detection of FAW ensures a quick response and accurate timing of control methods.

This resource provides guidance on crop monitoring, including crop observation techniques and the use of pheromone lure traps.
