Abstract

In laboratory tests in India on the effect of 8 food-plants on the development of the polyphagous pest Spodoptera exigua (Hb.), percentage pupation, duration of the larval and pupal periods, growth index, mean larval and pupal weights, and percentage adult emergence showed that lucerne was the best food-plant tested, followed by cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (catjang)), groundnut, sesame, green gram (V. radiata (Phaseolus aureus)), maize and sorghum (jowar) in that order. No development occurred in rice
