Webinar Series on Fall armyworm IPM: Host Plant Resistance

Date: 23rd March 2021 (2pm CET)

Deployment of maize varieties with resistance or tolerance against fall armyworm has an enormous potential to help reduce yield loss due to the pest in ways that are environmentally friendly.

Both native and transgenic resistance sources are available in maize. In this webinar, progress made in native resistance breeding, varietal development and evaluation by international and national agencies will be presented. Additionally, various aspects of the use of transgenic Bt resistance in fall armyworm management in temperate and tropical climates will be discussed.
