Potential roles of selected forage grasses in management of fall armyworm () through companion cropping.

Production of maize, L. (Poaceae), in sub-Saharan Africa is threatened by a new invasive pest, fall armyworm (FAW), (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). To mitigate this threat, push-pull companion cropping, a system originally developed for management of lepidopteran stemborers, may be used to control FAW.
