Implication

Analysis shows no significant correlation between rainfall and spodoptera frugiperda infestations in maize, indicating other factors are at play.

Key Points

  • FAW infestations were observed at various levels across nearly all sites, indicating widespread impact on maize crops.
  • Statistical analyses revealed no significant correlation between rainfall and the extent of infestation in the studied areas.
  • Field surveys and monthly rainfall data were utilized to assess and correlate pest incidence with climatic factors during the study period.
  • The findings suggest that management practices and plant availability may be more influential than rainfall in determining FAW infestation levels.
