Life fecundity tables were studied for Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) when reared on castor (Ricinus communis L). groundnut (Arachis hypogea), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) under laboratory conditions at 26·8± rc temperature. The net reproductive rate (R a ), was calculated in each case.
The tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) was reared on different host plants under laboratory conditions. This article reports the growth and development of S. litura on different host plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
