1 | Killing FAW naturally (Video) | https://www.accessagriculture.org/killing-fall-armyworms-naturally | By making best use of farmers’ friends and local plants on the farm, nature will help you control the fall armyworm and reward you with a good and healthy crop. |
2 | Scouting for Fall Armyworms (Video) | https://www.accessagriculture.org/scouting-fall-armyworms | Spraying pesticides is expensive and usually cannot control this pest. Visit your field twice a week for the first 6 weeks and kill any egg masses and young armyworms by hand. It is important to do scouting because without it, you will not have a harvest at the end of the day. |
3 | Neem seed kernel extract | https://www.accessagriculture.org/neem-seed-kernel-extract | Unlike most botanical insecticides, the plants can take up neem extracts through their roots and leaves, spreading the material throughout the plant tissues. For this reason, neem can help control pests like leaf miners, which feed inside leaves and are normally not affected by sprays that only cover the outside of the plant. |
