Overview

This research compares UAV treatments at 5m and 7m altitudes in maize, revealing implications for spodoptera frugiperda management.

Key Points

  • The 7m UAV treatment significantly reduced fall armyworm infestation compared to the 5m treatment.
  • The conventional backpack sprayer control achieved similar control as the 7m UAV treatment, with added advantages.
  • Statistical analyses, including ANOVA with Tukey HSD, evaluated treatment efficacy effectively.
  • The study's findings support the use of UAVs for efficient pest management in maize, reducing environmental impact.
