This study examined smallholder farmers' adaptation strategies in managing fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in rural Ghana. Using mixed methods, 378 smallholder farmers were randomly selected and surveyed, while 41 key informants were interviewed. The majority of smallholder farmers (83.1%) had experienced fall armyworm invasion with widespread and rapid invasion particularly in maize, which often led to a considerable reduction in crop yields. Pesticides (88%) and washing detergent solution (44%) applications were the common pest management practices. Male farmers were more positive in applying pesticides than female farmers. Integrated pest management practices and education among farmer should be improved.

本研究考察了小农户在加纳农村地区管理秋夜蛾（Spodoptera frugiperda）的适应策略。使用混合方法，随机选择和调查了378位小农，同时对41位主要信息提供者进行了采访。大多数小农户（83.1％）经历了秋天的夜蛾入侵，特别是在玉米中普遍且迅速地入侵，这通常导致农作物单产大幅下降。农药（88％）和洗涤剂溶液（44％）的施用是常见的害虫管理方法。男性农民比女性农民更积极地使用农药。应改进病虫害综合管理做法和农民之间的教育。
