Keywords:
fall armyworm, corn, the exotic pestAbstract
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is the exotic pest species that has severe outbreaks in Thailand. Objective to study corn variety on infestation of fall armyworm, S. frugiperda in 3 varieties as tien waxy corn, sweet corn hybrid jumbo sweet F1, and sweet glutinous corn hybrids sweet white 25 F1, that included 3 treatments, 12 replications per treatment with completely randomized design (CRD). The results were that the fall armyworm, S. frugiperda infested on the tien waxy corn and sweet glutinous corn hybrids sweet white 25 F1. The infestation of tien waxy corn was found on 51 - 65 days of age (0.17%). Sweet glutinous corn hybrids sweet white 25 F1 found on 44 - 65 days of age (0.08%). The S. frugiperda infested on each variety and all ages. The infestation affects the height of corn stalks in all varieties. The sweet corn hybrid jumbo sweet F1 was the highest decreasing on the height of stalk. Infestation caused a significantly reduced the width of leaf in all varieties and all ages of maize, which is the most effected of leaf width found on tien waxy corn more than others.
