Conteúdo: 	Fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a polyphagous and migratory lepidopteran pest insect in field crops and is notoriously invasive worldwide. In large portions of the Americas, its populations are managed using transgenic maize or cotton varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), primarily Vip3Aa pyramided with Cry Bt proteins. We determined the susceptibility of FAW field populations from locations pressured with such maize hybrids for over five years. We used time–mortality bioassays with F1 third-instar larvae of six geographically distinct populations collected in maize fields of a tropical agricultural region encompassing four Brazilian states. We maintained the neonate progeny from the field populations on an artificial diet until the third instar, and then determined their survival curves on the foliage of three Vip3Aa/Cry-producing Bt maize hybrids. Death of the mid-size, third-instar FAWs occurred relatively rapidly, with larval mortality rates reaching 98–100% in less than five days regardless of Bt maize hybrid. However, median survival time (ST50) for the larvae differed among the populations, with the lowest and highest ST50 values occurring for PI-Cr (42 h, 1.75 d) and PI-Ur populations (66–90 h, 2.75–3.75 h), respectively. Therefore, the F1 third-instar larvae of FAW populations were largely susceptible to Vip3Aa/Cry-producing maize foliage, and the most contrasting susceptibility occurred in the insects from Piauí state, Brazil. These results indicate that progeny of FAWs from areas highly pressured with Vip3Aa/Cry Bt maize hybrids are killed on maize foliage producing Vip3Aa and Cry Bt proteins despite field reports of increased leaf damage by the larvae in some locations. This research informs decision making for Bt-crop resistance management by producers, technicians, and researchers in local, regional, and world agriculture.
