ProjectPrevention, Detection and Management of Fall Armyworm Infestation in Solomon Islands and Neighbouring Pacific Islands - TCP/SAP/3809 2024

No results found.The Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) are at a considerably high risk of food poverty owing to their low production levels and the fact that they count on a small range of crops and food options. These issues are compounded by vulnerability to climate issues and the threat of exotic plant pests. The United Nations (UN) has identified a need to effectively prevent and manage these pests in the PICTs with strong biosecurity systems in order to boost food production, establish food security and economic stability, and improve resilience to environmental and socioeconomic shocks. One of the pests that has raised concerns is the Fall Armyworm (FAW). The FAW is native to the Americas and feeds mainly on maize, but also on 80 other crops such as wheat, cotton, sorghum and sugarcane. This insect is a global threat, as it is a transboundary pest affecting around 12 African countries, some regions in Asia and the Near East, and recently, some provinces in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands.
