Characteristics and seasonal variation of fall armyworm migratory behavior in their year‐round breeding areas in South China
The study of FAW moths in Yunnan and Hainan from 2020 to 2023 found that migratory moths take off under specific conditions and show a seasonal pattern, with those from certain maize stages having higher migratory proportion, longer forewings and faster flight. These findings advance our understanding of the migratory takeoff behavior of FAW and, thus, provide a basis for the accurate prediction and management of the migratory dynamics. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
