TL;DR
Overall, the biological and botanical insecticides evaluated are effective alternatives for managing S. frugiperda under laboratory conditions, helping reduce dependence on conventional chemical insecticides.
Sucking insect pests are important constraints to cauliflower production and can adversely affect plant growth and yield when their populations remain uncontrolled. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of selected botanical biopesticides against major sucking insect pests of cauliflower under field...
The invasion of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in Sub-Saharan Africa including Zimbabwe has caused a huge concern on food security. This has resulted to the extensive use of synthetic insecticides by the majority of small holder famers as a response to control and reduce the spread of the pest and damage to maiz...
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is an important pest of corn. It was first reported to have spread into Thailand in late 2018, with significant outbreaks in the provinces of Mae Hong Son, Tak, Kanchanaburi, and Nakhon Sawan. The fall armyworm starts damaging corn from 7 days after planting until t...
The efficacy of selected chemicals, botanicals and biopesticides against fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda) on fodder maize var. African Tall was conducted from 2019 to 2021 at five locations in India. The pooled data revealed that at 3 days after spraying, the FAW population was lowest (16.53% infestation of p...
The present study was conducted to evaluate the bioefficacy of botanical and chemical insecticides against brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stal), in paddy. The experiment was conducted using the following treatments Azadirachtin 5 % (60, 70 and 80 mL), BrahamAstra (7.5, 10.0 and 12.5 L), homemade neem (2.0, 3.0...
The wheat aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis, is an important sap-feeding insect-pest that adversely affects wheat growth and productivity. Although synthetic insecticides provide rapid aphid suppression, their adverse effects on predators necessitate the evaluation of comparatively safer pest-management options. The present...
