Resumen

Eradication of Spodoptera frugiperda from Australia is not considered technically feasible after being reported in Torres Strait (late January 2020), Queensland (February 2020), Northern Territory and Western Australia (March 2020). Activities for fall armyworm have transitioned to management, focused on limiting the impact of the pest.

All levels of Government and Industry will work together to ensure appropriate management options are available to growers and identify research priorities.

Peligro
These detections are being notified due to recent international interest in the movement of the pest.
