Abstract
Bionomics and
morphometrics of Spodoptera litura were studied by rearing it on rose
flowers under laboratory conditions. Morphology of life stages i.e., egg, larva
Pupa and adult along with developmental period were observed. Larvae were
brought from the field of Rose crop and reared in glass jars by providing rose
petals at the research laboratory during the period of year 2021-22. Total
larval period completed in 25.65 - 36.73 days while it took 30.23 + 0.38
average days respectively. The total development period was completed in 41.60
to 58.62 days with the Mean of 50.05 + 0.79 days. The length of various
larvae instars increased from 3.60 + 0.05 to 31.62 + 0.19 mm and
breadth from 0.38 + 0.09 to 3.59 + 018 starting from first in a
start to fifth instar respectively.
