Intraguild interactions and behavior of <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> and <i>Helicoverpa</i> spp. on maize

Abstract

Overall, S. frugiperda had a competitive advantage over Helicoverpa spp. This study provides significant information regarding noctuid behavior and larval survival during intraguild interactions, which may impact pest prevalence and population dynamics, thereby affecting integrated pest management and insect resistance management of these species in maize. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
