This field survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to survey for Spodoptera frugiperda, a key plant pest commonly known as fall armyworm.This document guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection and identification of Spodoptera frugiperda, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. It also includes visuals and guidance on recommended Spodoptera frugiperda pest traps.This field survey guidance complements the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors, through the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP) mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms. APP is an IPPC initiative designed to transform pest management across Africa by enhancing the capabilities of phytosanitary personnel within NPPOs, to leverage advanced science and modern digital technology for effective and timely pest surveillance, detection, identification, control, and prevention.
