Abstract:

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops cultivated worldwide for food, feed, and industrial purposes. However, its production is significantly affected by various insect pests at different growth stages. Major pests of maize include the Fall armyworm, Corn earworm, corn leafhopper, stem borers such as leafhoppers. These pests cause damage by feeding on leaves, stems, tassels, and ears, leading to reduced yield and poor grain quality.
