Smith, Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) into Africa has so far been limited to maize agriculture but could potentially impact many other crops. Trapping based on pheromone lures provides a cost-effective method for detecting this important pest (commonly known as fall armyworm) and will be essential for large-scale monitoring of populations to determine its geographical distribution and migration behavior as the species equilibrates to its new environment. However, the effective use of pheromone trapping requires optimization for a given location. An earlier report demonstrated that two commercial lures (one 3-component and the other 4-component) that were effective for trapping S. frugiperda in maize fields in Togo, Africa. The current study extends these findings to agricultural areas that differ in plant host composition (maize, pasture grasses, rice, and sorghum) in multiple locations in Ghana and Togo. In two seasons, significantly higher numbers of moths were found in maize, and in one season, higher numbers were found in rice than in sorghum and pasture grass systems. The results confirm the effectiveness of pheromone trapping and identify pheromone lures and trapping methods best suited for the different agroecosystems common to West Africa and that are at risk of infestation by S. frugiperda.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toab048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,25]],"date-time":"2021-02-25T15:12:32Z","timestamp":1614265952000},"page":"1138-1144","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Trapping\n                    <i>Spodoptera frugiperda<\/i>\n                    (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Moths in Different Crop Habitats in Togo and Ghana"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"114","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5698-2862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Djima","family":"Koffi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"African Regional Postgraduate Program in Insect Science, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra, Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Komi","family":"Agboka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Agronomie, Universit\u00e9 de Lom\u00e9, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anani Kossi Mawuko","family":"Adjevi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Agronomie, Universit\u00e9 de Lom\u00e9, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kodjo","family":"Assogba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Agronomie, Universit\u00e9 de Lom\u00e9, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5062-9232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ken Okwae","family":"Fening","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"African Regional Postgraduate Program in Insect Science, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra, Ghana"},{"name":"Soil and Irrigation Research Center, Kpong, Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Osae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute, Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, Accra, Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ebenezer","family":"Aboagye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Protection and Regulatory Service Directorate, Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Accra, Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2769-1043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert L","family":"Meagher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USDA-ARS CMAVE, Insect Behavior and Biocontrol Research Unit, Gainesville, FL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodney N","family":"Nagoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USDA-ARS CMAVE, Insect Behavior and Biocontrol Research Unit, Gainesville, FL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070820164347100_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"152","DOI":"10.2307\/3494982","article-title":"The fall armyworm: a bibliography","volume":"72","author":"Ashley","year":"1989","journal-title":"Florida Entomol"},{"key":"2021070820164347100_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1085","DOI":"10.1007\/s10886-006-9048-5","article-title":"Isolation, identification, synthesis, and field evaluation of the sex pheromone of the Brazilian population of Spodoptera frugiperda","volume":"32","author":"Batista-Pereira","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
