Abstract: The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a major worldwide disastrous pest. Since its invasion into China in 2019, the implementation of emergency chemical control measures yielded positive outcomes. However, the occurrence of S. frugiperda in China has now become common and year-round, necessitating a long-term approach for its management. Throughout the history of global pest control, reliance on chemical agents has invariably led to the development of pest resistance. Incidences of pesticide resistance in S. frugiperda have been reported in certain regions of China. Therefore, to mitigate the adverse effects of chemical pesticides and the risk of pesticide resistance, China's management strategies must transition towards green, efficient, precise, and sustainable approaches. On the basis of the regional control strategy and unified management strategy, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has advocated a management framework emphasizing biological control as the focal point, ecological and agricultural control as the foundation, and chemical control as the last resort. This article elaborates on recent technological advancements both domestically and internationally in biological control, ecological and agricultural control methods, with an emphasis on biological control. Additionally, it proposes future research directions and ideas to overcome existing challenges, aiming to provide guidance for the development of green management technologies in China.
