Fall Armyworm Continuity Plan for the Australian Grains Industry

The plan focuses on the grain industry and provides:

• background information on the current knowledge and status of fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda) in Australia
• key considerations in developing localised management strategies
• future research and development for the Australian grain industry.

The purpose of the plan is to provide a reference point and a basis for industry to build upon when designing resistance management strategies, area wide management plans, crop-specific management manuals, and other extension materials such as audio and visual products for the management of FAW within Australian broadacre farming systems.
