- Intervention effect Early sowing gave minimum infestation of sesame webworm.
- Intervention effect Early sowing gave better sesame grain yield.
- Intervention effect Early sowing with weekly spray gave low sesame webworm incidence, 8.8%, against late sowing with no treatment.
- Intervention effect Late sowing with no treatment gave higher sesame webworm incidence, 100%, than early sowing with weekly spray.
- Intervention effect Late sowing with no treatment gave lower sesame grain yield, 69.1 kg/ha, than early sowing with weekly spray.
- Intervention effect Late sowing with no treatment had the maximum leaf, flower and capsule damage, against the lowest in early sowing with weekly spray.
- Recommendation Planting sesame early at the onset of rainfall with two insecticide sprays at 2 and 4 weeks after emergence is an economical and optimum management option against A. catalaunalis.
