The American fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) invaded Asia in 2018, causing huge damage to maize and other host crops in different countries1. The invasive FAW is a highly polyphagous pest known to feed on 353 host plants across the globe2. FAW was found in a severe form in maize fields of North East (NE) India after March 2019 (ref. 3).
