Identification of Entomopathogenic Nematode isolates from Nigeria and their pathogenicity against the invasive fall armyworm, <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> J.E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

2025-11-25

Abstract excerpt

The fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith [Lep.: Noctuidae]), a highly destructive lepidopteran pest, poses a serious threat to maize and other staple crops across sub-Saharan Africa. With growing concerns over resistance to synthetic insecticides, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have emerged as viable biological control alternative. This study reports the isolation, identification, and virulence...
