Implication

Observation shows weather variables influence fall armyworm population dynamics in maize, indicating the need for targeted management strategies.

Key Points

  • Higher larval populations of fall armyworm were observed during kharif at 2.35 larvae/plant compared to 1.40 larvae/plant in rabi.
  • Correlation analysis revealed maximum and minimum temperatures along with wind speed as key factors affecting fall armyworm dynamics during kharif.
  • Relative humidity emerged as a significant driver for population changes during the rabi season, highlighting seasonal variations in pest management.
  • These findings indicate a pressing need for adaptive integrated pest management strategies based on specific climate factors and seasons.
