Abstract

A polyphagous nocturnal pest Spodoptera litura (Fabr.) commonly called armyworm, infests about 150 plant species across 44 families worldwide, with nearly 60 plant species affected just in India. The majority of leaf tissues are consumed by the larvae and only the stem and side shoots will remain in the field. They entirely consume the interior content by boring into them, causing squares and young bolls to shed. This insect can badly affect crops and has a wide range of potential hosts, which can lead to financial losses for farmers and food shortages for consumers. The worldwide distribution of S. litura as a pest results in significant impact on productivity of many crops. They have the capability to invade new places as a wide-ranging species. Armyworm frequently reappears in India every year and causes evident destruction. Different records on the insect population outbreak have been reported from many countries all around the world. The larvae of insect pests enter the fruits and even contaminate it and this causes yield and economic losses. The low temperatures of winter season are the limiting factors that affect species. It migrates mainly to breed during the summer season but is unable to survive in winters. S. litura acquired resistance to several synthetic insecticides, which led to pest outbreaks that were irregular and caused failure of different crops. The resistance and cross-resistance of this pest against insecticide toxin make it more difficult to reduce its population below threshold level. Understanding the mechanisms of resistance is crucial for developing effective resistance management strategies that can restrict or halt the spread of resistance in these pest populations.
