The fall armyworm strain associated with most rice, millet, and pasture infestations in the Western Hemisphere is rare or absent in Ghana and Togo by Nagoshi, R.N., Koffi, D., Agboka, K., Adjevi, A.K.M., Meagher, R.L., Goergen, Georg E.

“…Native to the Western Hemisphere, fall armyworm is one of the primary pests of corn in the Americas and periodically causes significant economic damage to sorghum, millet, cotton, rice, and forage grasses. This broad host range is in part the result of two populations historically designated as host strains (C-strain and R-strain) that differ in their host plant preferences. …”

The predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo prefers greenmite induced plant odours from pubescent cassava varieties by Onzo, A., Hanna, R., Sabelis, M.W.

“…Much less known, however, is the phenomenon that genotypes of the same host plant species vary in the attractiveness of these induced chemical signals, whereas they also differ in characteristics that affect the predator’s foraging success, such as leaf pubescence. …”

Editorial overview: Parasites/parasitoids/biological control (2024) — research advances on plant-derived food sources in biological control by Urbaneja-Bernat, Pablo, Tena, Alejandro, Rodríguez-Saona, César

“…However, the availability of these food sources can be highly variable [4], making their presence unpredictable for foraging insects. Many of these sources are ephemeral (e.g. pollen or floral nectar), and their quality as a food source is variable (e.g. honeydew or plant guttation) [5–7]. …”
