Overview

Analysis reveals biometrics and life cycle stages of fall armyworm on maize, suggesting management insights.

Key Points

  • The study identifies key biometric measures of fall armyworm, highlighting the significant differences across development stages.
  • Larval instars were closely analyzed, revealing sizes from 1.48 mm to 33.23 mm in body length as they grow through stages.
  • Pupal length averaged 14.45 mm with a lifespan extending over 9 days; understanding this helps in pest management strategies.
  • Findings support the development of ecologically based management practices to control the fall armyworm in maize crops.
