Organosilicone PASS Control Laphygma Frugiperda

07/11/2019

Please pay attention to the use of Organosilicone Super-Spreader PASS with Emamectin Benzoate to control fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in corn fields.

Larvae cause damage by consuming foliage. Young larvae initially consume leaf tissue from one side, leaving the opposite epidermal layer intact. By the second or third instar, larvae begin to make holes in leaves, and eat from the edge of the leaves inward. Feeding in the whorl of corn often produces a characteristic row of perforations in the leaves. Larvae also will burrow into the growing point (bud, whorl, etc.), destroying the growth potential of plants, or clipping the leaves. In corn, they sometimes burrow into the ear, feeding on kernels in the same manner as corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea.
