Overview

Field trial demonstrates mass trapping effectively reduces fall armyworm infestations in maize, suggesting pheromone traps can replace insecticides.

Key Points

  • Mass trapping using sex pheromone traps significantly reduces fall armyworm infestations in maize crops, improving yield.
  • The peak trapping of male moths occurred at week 43, demonstrating the effectiveness of lure density.
  • Using 10 to 15 traps per acre matched the efficacy of traditional insecticides like emamectin benzoate.
  • The installed traps showed significant parity with untreated controls regarding natural enemy activity.
