How To Control Fall ArmyWorm In Maize By Seed Treatment

  • For the control of fall armyworm, it is very important to take measures at the time of sowing of maize so that there is no damage to the maize crop.

  • For its control, do seed treatment of maize or use treated seeds only. For this use recommended insecticides like Imidacloprid 48% FS @ 5 ml/kg seed or treat with Chlorantraniliprole 19.8 + Thiamethoxam 19.8 FS @ 6 ml/kg seed.

  • Treat with Beauveria bassiana @ 5 gram/kg seed as an biological seed treatment

  •  Along with this, some more precautions must be taken like sowing maize in the whole field together, don’t do it separately.
