Protecting Crops.
Improving Yields.
Advancing Food Security.
Sentinel-X is a proven non-chemical crop protection platform helping Nigerian farmers combat Fall Armyworm and improve agricultural productivity.
Successfully piloted in Northern Nigeria through collaboration with farmers, extension agents, research institutions and government stakeholders.
One of the world's most invasive agricultural pests, now endemic across sub-Saharan Africa.
The Fall Armyworm Challenge
Fall Armyworm remains one of the most destructive agricultural pests affecting maize production across Nigeria. Farmers frequently experience severe crop losses, rising production costs and increasing dependence on chemical interventions that prove costly, ineffective, and harmful to soil health.
Crop Damage
Fall Armyworm larvae bore into maize whorls and ears, causing direct physical destruction of plant tissue and triggering irreversible yield loss.
Yield Losses
Unmanaged infestations result in significant harvest reductions, threatening household food security and smallholder farm incomes across the growing season.
Rising Input Costs
Repeated chemical applications drive up production costs, erode profit margins, and expose farmers to pesticide resistance while leaving chemical residues on produce.
How Sentinel-X Works
A structured, science-led intervention model designed for field-level deployment across Nigerian agricultural landscapes.
Detection & Assessment
Trained field teams identify infestation levels across target maize farms, map affected areas, and classify damage severity to inform intervention planning.
Sentinel-X Deployment
The Sentinel-X technology intervention is activated according to approved operational procedures, with precision placement and scheduling designed for maximum efficacy.
Monitoring & Recovery
Extension agents conduct structured field monitoring visits to track crop recovery, pest suppression outcomes, and document results for reporting and commercial validation.
Sentinel-X Impact in Nigeria
Demonstrating measurable agricultural outcomes through field deployment and stakeholder collaboration.
Successful Recovery of Fall Armyworm
Infested Maize Fields
A documented field account of Sentinel-X deployment in Northern Nigeria pilot sites.
Severe infestation — significant larval activity
Recovery confirmed — no larvae observed
Severe Fall Armyworm Infestations
Pilot maize fields in Kaduna and Kano States were experiencing severe Fall Armyworm infestations, with widespread larval activity, visible egg masses, and progressive crop deterioration threatening the entire growing season.
Sentinel-X Treatment Deployed
Sentinel-X treatment was deployed across the affected plots under technical supervision by trained field teams and extension officers. Application followed approved operational protocols with full stakeholder visibility.
Observed Outcomes: 10–14 Days
Post-intervention monitoring by extension teams documented the following field outcomes within 10–14 days of Sentinel-X deployment.
- No visible larvae observed in treated areas
- Egg masses eliminated
- Visible improvement in crop growth trajectory
- Damaged leaves showed recovery indicators
- Pest activity significantly reduced across all monitored plots
Stakeholder Confidence Established
The pilot generated strong interest from government stakeholders, agricultural institutions and farmer groups, establishing Sentinel-X as a credible, scalable crop protection solution for national deployment.
Field Outcomes
