The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), an invasive and polyphagous pest affecting various vital crops globally, was studied to assess how different maize hybrids impact its biological parameters under controlled laboratory conditions.

- Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods are promising for applications like gas sensors and solar cells, and this study compares three eco-friendly methods for their production: hydrothermal, chemical bath deposition (CBD), and electrochemical deposition (ECD).
- XRD analysis confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO, with hydrothermal yielding the most uniform and thicker nanorods, while CBD and ECD resulted in less consistent shapes.
- The hydrothermal method also provided the highest photocurrent values (2.25 µA) and better optical properties, making it the most effective technique for producing high-quality ZnO nanorods.

The exponential rise in pesticide resistance to conventional chemical pesticides is another major factor driving the development of novel insecticidal active agents. One approach to solving this problem is to investigate novel classes and environmentally safe insecticidal chemicals with a variety of modes of action. Among these techniques is the creation of novel tebufenozide derivatives.
