Due to the growing problem that the presence of fall armyworm represents for cotton farmers in Brazil, the international magazine “Entomological Communications” published in October 2023 the Bioassay “Mating suppression and damage reduction of Spodoptera frugiperda ( J. E. Smith, 1797) in cotton”, where the effectiveness of Provivi's Pherogen®️ Spray FAW mating disruption pheromone is demonstrated as a sustainable tool within the integrated management of this pest.

First results proving the use of pheromones for mating desruption of S. frugiperda on a large scale in cotton. I’m glad that I have been part of this project in Brazil
