Scaling of Likert and semantic differential method was used to determine the perception on the main pest management measures and to get the value of the attitude, when considering the diversity of capabilities of discrimination between the individuals interviewed. The statistical package Infostat, version 2.0 was used to analysis of multiple comparison of proportions. The producers of corn in the rural community of Mahomito preferred the variety INIA 605 and use of chemical products for the pest control associated with the crop. The main causal agents of pests associated with the crop were S. frugiperda, H. zea, and P. maidis.
