Fall Armyworm found in the Far North
25 November 2024
Fall Armyworm (FAW) has been identified across the Far North of Northland. This serves as a timely reminder to remain vigilant as the season progresses. The Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) is strongly encouraging growers to scout their crops as often as possible, ensure accurate pest identification when monitoring, and contact local agronomists for assistance.
Grower observations are vital to understanding the spread and impact of FAW so please share finds as the season progresses. The data growers share plays a crucial role in the success of the FAW Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures (SFFF) long-term management project.
