About this document
Fall Armyworm Threat to Sweetpotato by aiktiplar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is an exotic pest detected in Queensland that can cause significant damage to crops like maize, sweet corn, and sorghum if left unchecked. Sweetpotato is not a preferred host but may be impacted under high pest pressures as fall armyworm rapidly infests rotation crops used in sweetpotato farming. Growers are advised to regularly check crops for egg masses and larvae and report any sightings to the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.
