Spraying of the pests should be done early in the morning or late in the evening when the larvae fall army worms are most effective. The top leaves and funnels should be sprayed two to three times in an interval of two weeks to effectively control the young larvae that may emerge after earlier sprays.
It is also important to observe the presence of eggs on either sides of the plant leaves and destroy them immediately by crushing or spraying.
