Fall armyworm (FAW) is the most obliterating pest, causing paramount levels of damage to a wide range of crops, amongst, which maize is of prime significance. It has devastated several acres of maize in the Rayalseema region of Andhra Pradesh. Fall armyworm spreads at a rapid rate and can result in significant yield losses in maize if it is not managed well in time. It damages both leaves, tassels, and cobs of maize. To study and assess the severity of FAW incidence a roving survey was carried out in maize cultivating areas in four districts (Rayalseema region) of Andhra Pradesh viz., Chittoor, Kurnool, Kadapa and Anantapur, in Kharif 2021 during both vegetative and reproductive stages of maize. The results revealed that the highest leaf damage was recorded at Kurnool (73.45%) and Chittoor (68.80%) followed by Kadapa (61.19%) and Anantapur (47.69%), which were on par with each other. The highest cob damage was recorded in Chittoor (77.10%) and Kurnool (59.77%) followed by Kadapa (41.10%) and Anantapur (42.21%), which were on par with each other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
