Plant-to-Plant Movement ofStriacosta albicosta(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) andSpodoptera frugiperda(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Maize (Zea mays)

Integrated pest management (IPM) and insect resistance management (IRM) in various cropping systems demand a comprehensive understanding of insect behavior. Among the needed information is basic charaterizations of larval movement and dispersion of some insect-pests, such as the noctuids Striacosta albicosta (Smith) and Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith). We investigated the plant-to-plant movement of western bean cutworm and fall armyworm...
