Abstract:

The armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda, which invaded China in January 2019, has been an outbreak in many provinces of China, causing a great impact on food security production. In order to determine the distribution and occurrence regularity of S. frugiperda in the field of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, monitoring sites were set up to monitor the population of S. frugiperda in different maize planting areas from 2019 to 2021, and the biotypes of S. frugiperda were identified by molecular biological methods. The results showed that S. frugiperda mainly distributed in Hangzhou area was identified as a hybrid of maize-type and rice-type by molecular identification, and its feeding preference was maize leaves. In 2019, S. frugiperda infestations occurred in many areas in Hangzhou, especially in September to November. The highest number of trapped male moths in a single trap was 388 moths per week. The occurrence of S. frugiperda in Hangzhou decreased significantly in 2020 and 2021. The highest number of trapped male moths in a single trap was 174 moths per week and 29 moths per week respectively.
