Size of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae Reared on Various Host Plants

The study of the larval size of Spodoptera exigua based on their head capsule was performed on larvae reared on leaves of cabbage, shallot, long beans and lady's fingers. It was found that there was no significant difference in the larval head capsule size of the 1st instar among the studied ho...
