ABSTRACT: The study was conducted in four districts viz., Rajshahi, Noagaon, Chapainawabganj and Natore through pretested questionnaire survey among the target farmers, i.e. 30 farmers per district to gather information on existing socio-economic aspects of maize cultivating farmers as well as their opinion on maize insects pests and insecticide application against those pests. Most of the farmers are middle to old aged with primary to secondary level of education, small to medium farm size, small to medium family size with good farming experiences and medium to high level of annual income. According to the farmer’s opinion, cutworm was detected as severe, while fall armyworm, stem borer, pink stem borer and cob borer were the major, and aphid was found as minor insect pests of maize in the survey area. For combating those insect pests, farmers mainly use Chlorpyrifos (50%) + Cypermethrin (5%) against cutworm and fall armyworm as well as Thiamethoxam (20%) + Chlorantraniliprole (20%) against stem borer, pink stem borer and cob borer.
