    l Avoid late or off-season planting and dont plant new crop l Sample plants every 10 feet along a line across the field l On small-scale farms, hit or shake the
    near infested fields and repeat this process in a second and third area, paying foliage to make the fall armyworm
    l Avoid staggered planting (planting at different dates in the close attention to the crop margins larvae drop into the water and drown
    same field), as this provides a continous source of food l Caterpillars: light green to dark brown with longitudinal in paddy rice

    l Use of fertilizers for rice plants to be vigorous and able to marking on the front. The second-to-last body segment has a few hours to kill the armyworm
    compensate for damage done and apply at the right time four dark spots forming a square (3rd instar and above) larvae.
