Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the bio-efficacy of insecticides against Spodoptera frugiperda infesting maize under field condition at Zonal Agriculture Research Station, JNKVV, Chandangaon, Chhindwara (M.P.) during Kharif, 2019-20. Among the tested insecticides, Spinetoram 11.7% SC was observed to be most effective in reducing the larval population, followed by Emamectin benzoate 5SG (2.16 larvae per plant). Hence, insecticides can prove to be highly effective for the management of fall armyworm.
