Abstract:
A study on the standardization of sex pheromone traps against S. frugiperda noted that the sex pheromone traps installed @ 60 and 50 traps/ha recorded the lowest (12.01-16.51% and 12.89-17.26%) percent central shoot damage, larval population (2.37-10.27 and 2.49-10.62 larvae/10 plants), cob damage (12.07 and 13.08%) and moth catches (27.34 and 25.98 moths/trap/week), respectively. The study concluded that a trap density of 50 pheromone traps per hectare was optimal for managing fall armyworm infestation in maize.
