520 _aMaize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important food grains in Bangladesh grown year-round predominantly by smallholder farmers. In Bangladesh, maize is cultivated approximately in 5.59 lac hectares of land producing 55.4 lac tons of maize. Yield potentiality of Maize in Bangladesh is low compared to other countries. This may be due to several abiotic and biotic constraints. Among the biotic factors, different insect pests cause serious damage to maize crops every year in Bangladesh resulting huge yield loss. Prodhan et al., 2020, listed 12 species of insect pests including invasive Fall Armyworm (FAW) to be injurious to maize crop in Bangladesh. The devastating insect Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was first reported in Bangladesh during November 2018. In South Asia, the FAW was detected for the first time during May 2018 infesting maize crop in Karnataka state of India (Ganiger et al., 2018). The pest is becoming a major threat causing substantial yield losses on maize in the region (Kumela et al., 2018). Native to the tropical and subtropical region of America, the Fall Armyworm, is now widespread across the globe (CABI, 2020). The FAW is a most destructive crop pest, known to attack more than 353 plant species across the globe (Montezano et al., 2018) but maize is its most preferred host. FAW larvae damage the crop at different stages of growth, from early vegetative to physiological maturity. It can cut down young plants and can also damage leaves, giving them a ragged, torn appearance. The pest feeds inside whorls and can destroy silks and developing tassels. FAW can also feed on developing kernels, which can reduce yields through direct losses, exposure of cobs to secondary infection and loss of grain quality and quantity.
