Development and demographic parameters of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith) when feeding on rice (Oryza sativa) by Md Panna Ali, Sheikh Shamiul Haque, Md Mosaddeke Hossain, Md Nazmul Bari, Mir Md Moniruzzaman Kabir, Tapon Kumar Roy, Juel Datta, Mohammad Tofazzal Hossain Howlader, Syed Nurul Alam, Timothy J. Krupnik

“…The developmental period from egg to adult among rice varieties did not differ significantly; however, it did differ significantly between rice and maize, as feeding on rice rather than maize extends development duration of FAW larvae by 15.15%. FAW larvae collected and reared on maize were found to be of significantly higher weight than those reared on rice at two sequential dates of their development; pupal weight however was observed as statistically similar between these two host crops. …”
