29 September 2020Did you miss out on the opportunity to attend the recent webinar on fall armyworm (FAW)?
Don’t worry, you can now watch the recordings below or on this AUSVEG YouTube playlist.
FAW has recently torn a destructive path across Africa and Asia, where it has decimated many crops.
In this webinar, Syngenta Head of Technical Support APAC Alexandre Silva details the impact that FAW has had overseas.
Meanwhile, local experts discuss FAW distribution across Australia, biology, and host plants, as well as alternatives to insecticides for FAW management.
To conclude the webinar, Chris Monsour from Prospect Agriculture takes us into the field in Bowen, QLD, to show FAW damage in sweetcorn, as well as the traps used to monitor FAW activity in the region.
