#FallArmyworm
🔎 Spotted at #EUAgRI2040: @sagropia.bsky.social on sustainable crop protection with novel biological solutions and an integrated approach.

🌽 Close to our own ground in #EUFAWREADY, where #BiologicalControl and #IPM sit at the centre of preparing Europe for #FallArmyworm (FAW).
🌱 Hello from Day 2 of the #EUAgRI2040 Conference in Brussels!

We’re back at our stand showcasing #SAGROPIA and our work on sustainable crop protection through novel biological solutions and an integrated approach.

📍 If you’re at the conference, come and say hello!

Farmers in #SouthernAfrica face floods, drought and now the #FallArmyworm as well. In Zambia & Malawi, FAW cuts maize yields by up to 30%, threatening #FoodSecurity. In response #CIMMYT developed FAW-tolerant maize – less damage, more resilience. 🌽✨

🚨 New study warns that the #FallArmyworm could cost the EU €900M+ annually in maize losses. 🌽
🛰️ Bioclimatic models show high risk for southern Europe and recommended actions include 🧭 surveillance, 🧪 IPM, 🤝 cooperation.

Fall armyworm feeds on over 350 plant species, and maize is top of the list.

It also attacks other staple crops, putting food security at risk.

Knowing what it targets helps you spot infestations early!
