Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is one of the important invasive pests causing economic losses to maize, sorghum and other millets. This study aims to develop suitable cost-effective crop based artificial diet for its rearing and evaluates the biology under laboratory conditions. Study revealed that the least life cycle period (egg to adult) was obtained with sorghum+ chickpea based diet (D1: 31-39 days) as compared to sorghum based diet(D2: 37-44 days) and maize+ chickpea based diet (D3: 40-48 days). Fully developed larvae measured longer, broader and heavier when reared on D1, also the fecundity was maximum. A cheap artificial diet to rear S. frugiperda is thus developed in this study. date: 2020-09 date_type: published publication: Indian Journal of Entomology volume: 82 number: 3 publisher: The Entomological Society of India pagerange: 543 id_number: doi:10.5958/0974-8172.2020.00135.2 refereed: TRUE issn: 0367-8288 official_url: https://doi.org/10.5958/0974-8172.2020.00135.2 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=10.5958%2F0974-8172.2020.00135.2&btnG= related_url_type: pub citation: Jaba, J and Sathish, K and Mishra, S P (2020) Biology of fall army worm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.
