The research was carried out at the El Aeropuerto Farm located in the cartographic quadrant 48-126-092 Caunao road, belonging to the Manuel Ascunce Credit and Services Cooperative, Cienfuegos municipality in one hectare planted with corn, variety, TGH on a Brown soil with Carbonate, in the period from March to August, year 2022, rainy season, with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of the product (Nicosave) on Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith in the cultivation of Zea mays corn. A completely randomized design was carried out for the in vitro evaluation and a randomized block for the field area, where for the first case, the concentration of 75 'percent demonstrated the best results and for the application of the product in the field at the dose of 19 L/ha showed the best effectiveness after three days with 63 percent. Recommending to the integrated pest management commission of the Cienfuegos province that the application of the alternative insecticide Nicosave for Spodoptera frugiperda in the first and second instar of the larva be included in the corn cultivation strategy.
