Evaluation of the Efficacy of Five Chemical Insecticides in the Protection of Maize against the Moth Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Burkina Faso
Maize
production in Burkina Faso faces a number of constraints, the main one being attacks by insect pests. One of these
insects is the fall armyworm (Spodoptera
frugiperda J.E. Smith). Control of this insect began with the application
of chemical insecticides, which are ineffective in the long term and give
resistance problems. This study aims to
evaluate the efficacy of five insecticides in order to determine the level of resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda to these insecticides. The effectiveness of insecticides was evaluated
in the field using a Fisher block experimental design with five
repetitions and six treatments. The parameters
evaluated concerned the number of larvae at all stages and the damage
observed on maize plants and cobs. The work was carried out at the Farako-Ba station during the rainy season of 2023-2024 and
at the Bama station during the dry
season of 2023-2024. The results obtained in the rainy season showed that Chlorantraniliprole and Indoxacarb were more
effective than the untreated control
and the other insecticides tested. The rate of plants and cobs attacked was
0.59% and 32.34% respectively in plots treated with Chlorantraniliprole.
However, the rate of plants and cobs attacked was 1.52% and 44% respectively for the plots treated with Indoxacarb. In the dry
season, Chlorantraniliprole, Indoxacarb and Emamectin benzoate were the
most effective. The rate of plant attack in plots treated with
Chlorantraniliprole was 0.52%, while the rate of cob attack was 1.35%. The
plots treated with Indoxacarb had 1.92% and 5.96% of plants and cobs attacked
respectively. The plots treated with Emamectin benzoate had 0.63% and 7.95% of
plants and cobs attacked respectively. These results show that these
insecticides can be used to manage this pest.
