Genetic hybridization between C and R strains of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) in Burkina Faso

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is a devastating pest that causes significant crop losses and threatens food security throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, FAW is present since 2017, but its diversity is poorly understood, which complicates control efforts. Morphological i...

Assessing protein quality, reactive lysine and gastric digestion characteristics of feed-grade black soldier fly meal: Implications for post-weaning piglet feed formulation

Insect proteins represent a promising and more sustainable alternative to soybean meal in swine nutrition. However, high dietary inclusion levels often result in reduced animal performance, indicating that factors other than crude protein concentration should be considered. This study evaluated the protein quality and...

Toward Sustainable Management of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): A Review on the Role of Endophytic Fungi in Crop Protection

Overall, several fungal species successfully colonized plant tissues and reduced FAW performance through increased larval mortality, delayed development, and reduced feeding, and effects were associated with the production of bioactive secondary metabolites, induction of plant defense responses, and alteration of volat...
