ASSESSMENT OF INFESTATION OF SPODOPTERA FRUGIPERDA (J.E. SMITH) ON MAIZE AND ITS IMPLEMENTED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES WITH THEIR EFFICACY IN KAILALI, NEPAL

Fall armyworm has been recently introduced to Nepal. In a very less time, the invasive pest has rapidly spread throughout the country causing 21% of yield loss in the total production of maize. It has the potential to attack all the crop stages of maize. If the effect of fall armyworm is neglected,...
