How to control Aphid in Maize Crop

Nymphs and adults are soft pear-shaped to black in colour.
In groups of young and adults appear to the lower surface of the leaves, which suck the cell sap of the leaves.
The affected part turns yellow and shrinks. In case of severe infestation, the leaves dry up and gradually the whole plant dries up.
Fruit size and quality are reduced.
Honeydew is secreted on the surface of leaves by aphids, which leads to the development of fungus. The process of photosynthesis of the plant is affected, ultimately the growth of the plant stops.
Spray Imidacloprid 17.8%SL @ 100 ml/acre or Acephate 75% SP @ 300 gram/acre or Acetamiprid 20% SP @ 100 gram/acre.
As a biological treatment, spray Beauveria bassiana@ 500 gram/acre.
