ASEAN
IPM Action Plan

Welcome

This platform originally launched as the ASEAN Fall Armyworm (FAW) & Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Action Plan (ASEAN FAW Action Plan 2020-2025) Innovation and Knowledge Hub - a space where stakeholders across Southeast Asia came together to tackle FAW and strengthen sustainable, resilient farming through IPM.

Today, we are entering an exciting new chapter.

Over the coming months, this site will evolve into the ASEAN Bioinnovation and IPM Action Plan Innovation and Knowledge Hub (ASEAN IPM Action Plan 2026-2030) - a regional home for the next generation of solutions, insights, and collaborations in transboundary pest and disease management.

Our roots in FAW and IPM remain strong. All existing knowledge and resources will stay available as we expand our scope and build a more powerful platform for regional action. You’ll see new features, fresh content, and a broader community as we transition into the new Action Plan.

We invite you to explore, connect, and contribute to shaping the future of bioinnovation and IPM in Southeast Asia. Let's continue the journey together in building more resilient and sustainable farming systems within the region based on IPM approaches.

The Asian Corn Borer

The Asian corn borer ( Ostrinia furnacalis ) is one of the most destructive pests of maize and other cereal crops in many parts of Asia. This video explores the life cycle, behaviour and management of the Asian corn borer. It offers a clear visual walkthrough of how the insect develops—from egg to larva to pupa to adult—and shows key points at which farmers, agronomists and crop-protection specialists can intervene to reduce damage.

What is the Fall Armyworm?

The Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) was first reported in Southeast Asia in late 2018 in Thailand and Myanmar. It has since rapidly spread, and its presence is now confirmed across the region. The pest, which has many host plant species, can cause major damage, particularly to maize crops.

FAW crop damage and associated livelihood impacts present a serious issue for regional food security and the sustainable livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. Now this pest is endemic in the region, management is focused on monitoring and control rather than eradication.
