Case Study : Management of Fall Armyworm in South Africa | RAENS project knowledge product

An invasive pest found across the African continent, the Fall Armyworm attacks over 200 different species. While most control efforts rely on chemicals and are often ineffective, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) offers agroecological approaches to control the Armyworm while protecting human and environment health.

The following case study from Southern Africa delves into key aspects of IPM which include:

- Shift from Chemicals to Ecology
‍

- Protecting Human & Environment Health
‍

- Adopting the IPM Pyrimid
‍

- Empowering and Educating Farmers
