Effect of Selected Maize (Zea mays L.) Genotypes on the Biology of the Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera Frugiperda JE Smith) Under Controlled Environment

The inverse relationship between larval weight and development duration highlights the role of maize genotype in influencing FAW growth dynamics, with resistant varieties prolonging development and suppressing larval biomass accumulation.

Integration of Selective Insecticides with Metarhizium anisopliae for Sustainable Management of Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) in Maize

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a destructive invasive pest that poses a serious threat to maize production, necessitating the development of sustainable management strategies. The present study evaluated the efficacy of integrating selective insecticides with Metarhizium anisopliae for the management of fall arm...

Adapting Microbial Inoculants, Plant Extracts, and Legume Intercrop to Mitigate Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) and Improve Maize (Zea mays L) Performance

Infestation by the invasive fall armyworm-FAW (Spodoptera frugiperda) pest has recently emerged as an important constraint for maize (Zea mays L) production, which is frequently managed using chemical pesticides. However, the inappropriate use of chemical pesticides can cause deleterious effects on the environment and...
