RA3 gene activity was detected and traced to presence in nucleus and cytoplasm of developing cell in maize ear. RA3 is in green and nuclei are counterstained in red.

Eventually they attack the maize ear. Fall armyworm damage on maize. Fall armyworm typically targets fresh leaves and fruit of crops like maize, with its appetite waning as the crop matures.

The emergence stage to the V5 stage is critical; therefore, shield your crop from any form of stress. At stages V3 to V5, the number of (kernel) rows per ear that the plant will produce is determined.
