A Review of the Biology of the Fall Armyworm
Open accessAbstract
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is an agricultural pest of tropical-subtropical origin in the Western Hemisphere. Since it lacks any diapause mechanisms, it only can overwinter in the mild climates of south Florida and Texas; annually it reinvades much of the continental U.S. and southern Canada. Although its larvae feed on a variety of plants, corn, peanuts, sorghum, and Bermudagrass are favored hosts. The FAW adult is nocturnal in its feeding and mating activities; females may mate several times and use pheromones to attract males. Larvae normally complete 6 instars and pupate in the soil.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
