Resumen
Descripción
The Fall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter aims to provide information and highlight activities designed to improve understanding of the insect pest and how best to monitor and control it. The April 2021 issue of the newsletter focuses on several important and high-level meetings, including discussions with regard to practical steps to mobilize resources, especially at the country level. The strong collaboration between FAO and research institutions and governments was also emphasized during these meetings. As well, the newsletter shines a spotlight on country-level activities, including a dramatic success story from Sri Lanka, where FAW-associated yield losses were as low as two percent in 2020. Sound national coordination has been said to be essential to this successful response.
