Discussion

Field trials demonstrated effective insecticide timing strategies against fall armyworm in maize, suggesting enhanced crop yield potential.

Timely applications of chlorantraniliprole significantly reduced fall armyworm infestation to 12.33%.
A mean leaf injury rating of 1.98 was achieved with the most effective treatment during early vegetative stages.
Using a randomized block design, this research conducted multiple insecticide applications across different growth stages.
Findings emphasize the importance of growth stage-based pest management in improving maize yield under pest pressure.

Kalisetti et al. (2025) studied this question.
