The tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is regular
polyphagous pest of field and horticultural crops and is
distributed throughout Asia, from North Africa to Japan, Australia
and New Zealand the eastern part of the world.It infests more than
112 crop plants belonging to 44 families in the world, of which 40
cultivated plants as well as 24 wild plants are known from
India.This pest has become devastating because of its features such
as polyphagous nature, high reproductive potential, overlapping
generations, year round availability of host plants, ability of
adults to migrate over large distances and frequent control
failures with most of the routinely used insecticides.As a result
of excessive selection pressure exerted by the intensive use of
insecticides, field populations of S. litura has become resistant
to most of the insecticides. Development of insecticide resistance
in S. litura is one of the major obstacles for the profitable
cultivation of vegetables and commercial crops. Therefore this book
is intended for the PG students and researchers of Toxicology,
Entomology and Enviromenatal sciences.
