Abstract
Although fall armyworm, S. frugiperda (J. E. Smith), has numerous natural enemies attacking it, the insect remains an important pest of many annual row crops and pasturage. Attempts to use natural enemies to control this pest must take into consideration the characteristics of the annual row crop agroecosystem. Several approaches including importation of new species, propagation and release [Apanteles marginiventris (Cresson) and Chelonus insularis (Cresson)], and resource management are suggested; the qualities of each are discussed.
