- Hi Phiwa Do you mean food attractants? There is a bait used in Australia to attract Helicoverpa made by AgBiTech. Not sure if they've tried it on FAW. Maybe Shachi Gurumayum (ShachiG) who is a member of this community could assist. See also https://www.agbitech.com.au/magnet Pheromones also act as a bait, but mass trapping using pheromones has not really been shown to be effective for FAW. However, Provivi is developing mating disruption with pheromones and has a product registered in Kenya - see https://www.provivi.com/en/news-articles/provivi-announces-regulatory-approval-in-kenya

- This is interesting! Does anyone else have examples of how natural enemy mortality of FAW might affect natural enemy mortality to other hosts? When the parasitoids inserted their ovipositors in FAW, how often do they oviposit? If they don't, then no eggs would be "wasted".

- Some nice photos in this! I see there is a recommendation for mass trapping of male moths using pheromone traps @ 15/acre. Is there any published research on this? Does anyone have data showing mass-trapping is effective at reducing yield loss? What area would need to be covered by trapping for it to be effective (as moths are strong flyers, I would expect it to be much less effective on smaller areas?)

- Today's news says "County governments (in Kenya) in maize growing areas want the National Government to fast-track the approval of Genetically Modified (GM) Bt maize variety for food sufficiency." See https://www.kenyanews.go.ke/government-urged-to-approve-gm-maize-variety/

- Hi Simone - I've just posted a note to Marcellin about his work on FAW on onion (Jul 7), asking if he's looked at survival etc, as you have done here. Maybe you could give him some suggestions?

- Hi Marcellin. This is interesting, because most FAW studies in Africa are on maize. I wonder whether you did any studies to see how successful FAW is on onion, regarding survival, size, fecundity etc, such as in this paper: https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0103-90162017000100018&script=sci_arttext

- Hi Aline, I'm wondering what the implications of your research might be for pesticide resistance management in Africa and Asia?
