Researchers recommend integrated pest management for fall armyworm

Solutions to the massively destructive pest, fall armyworm
(Spodoptera frugiperda), are urgently needed. In Sub-Saharan Africa, governments have spent huge sums purchasing and distributing pesticides including many highly toxic chemicals that have been banned in other parts of the world as an emergency measure. Unfortunately, often even these chemicals are not effective but rather pose a significant risk to human health and the environment.
Without proper training and the right advice about usage, smallholders often use the pesticides without following safety measures, such as wearing protective clothing while preparing or spraying the chemicals and the safe disposal of the used containers. This can result in short-term or chronic health problems, depending on duration of exposure, how much toxin is ingested and the pesticide toxicity. ....

Researchers in Malawi and Zambia focus on agroecological solutions for fall armyworm

Deploying a range of non-hazardous technologies, researchers are joining forces to better manage the pest.
As the fall armyworm continues to spread across the globe, researchers are keenly pursuing technologies that will assist farmers in managing this invasive pest that is threatening food and nutrition security and the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of smallholders.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that fall armyworm could cause losses of between 8.3 to 20.6 million tonnes of maize annually, valued at USD 2.5–6.2 billion, enough to feed 40–100 million people in 12 African countries. Finding safe and effective ways of managing this voracious pest is crucial. ....
