Management of fall army worm (FAW) in maize

Fall  Armyworm  (FAW)  is  a  highly  damaging  pest of  maize.  The  FAW  is  a  polyphagous  migratory lepidopteran  pest  causing  significant  damage  to  the crop. It has a very rapid spreading capacity. Nowadays, it  is  becoming  a  major  threat  in  India  as  well  as  in North-eastern  states.  Proper  quarantine  measures should be strengthened to control the further entry of pests through a different medium.
