Abstract

Fall armyworm is one of the main destructive invasive insect pests in India, which threaten the production of corn starting from the seedling stage to maturity stage. The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of seed treatment on the management of fall army worm (Spodoptera frugiperda) at initial stages of maize crop. The experiment was carried out under field conditions at Maize Research Center, Agricultural Research Station, Vijayarai in Andhra Pradesh. The experimentation was executed with seven treatments viz., Cyantraniliprole plus thiamethoxam at the doses of 5.0ml (T2); 6.0ml (T3) and 7.0ml kg-1 of seed (T4); T5: thiamethoxam @8.0ml kg-1 of seed; T6: cyantraniliprole at 2.4 ml kg-1 of seed; T7: carbofuran at 33.0 kg ha-1 applied through seed treatment along with T1: untreated control with three replications in a completely randomized design. Seed treatment had no adverse effect on germination of maize and there was no significant difference in plant height of maize among d
