Molecular surveillance of resistance mutations in invasive populations of <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> in <scp>Europe</scp>, for evidence‐based pest control
This study provides a critical baseline for monitoring insecticide resistance in invasive FAW populations in Europe, supporting the development of sustainable integrated pest management strategies in line with the European Union Green Deal. Continuous monitoring with molecular diagnostics, alongside complementary bioassays, is recommended to mitigate the impact of FAW on European agriculture. © 2025 The Author(s).
