A new generation of Bt maize for control of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda).

Background: The pyramided genetically modified maize (Zea mays [L.]) event MON 95379, expressing the Cry1B.868 and Cry1Da_7 proteins, was designed to protect against larval feeding damage by the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (FAW).

and Compounds Affecting Interactions Between and Its Natural Enemies and .

The interaction Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) × its natural enemies Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Say (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) × botanical compounds with and without synergist is unknown; therefore, it was studied under controlled conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the direct mortality of nymphs and adults and indirect by this predator feeding on larvae treated after being exposed to parasitism by . L.

Lethal and behavioral effects of synthetic and organic insecticides on Spodoptera exigua and its predator Podisus maculiventris.

Background: The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a key insect pest of edible vegetables around the world and it is resistant to insecticide of different classes. Insecticides that are effective to this pest and selective to predator stinkbugs are required for the integrated management of S. exigua.
