Early detection of sources of resistance to the fall armyworm in some tropically-adapted maize varieties in Southern Nigeria
<p>he outbreak of fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, in Nigeria since 2016 had caused serious socio-economic problem to farmers. Twenty maize varieties adapted to the agro-ecologies of Nigeria were evaluated in five environments to identify varieties with resistance to the FAW for pos...
