To control fall armyworm:

  1. Scout early — check maize twice a week.
  2. Use recommended chemicals like Lambdacyhalothrin, Cypermethrin, or Emamectin Benzoate.
  3. Apply in the early morning or evening.
  4. Keep weeds low — they hide pests.
  5. Combine chemical + good farm hygiene for best results.

Remember to think about the consequences of over dependence on chemicals though.
