Abstract

Spodoptera litura (F.) is one of most important defoliators occurring in Uttarakhand causing significant losses to crops. Its occurrence in the different regions of Uttarakhand was explored through survey conducted from 2018-2020. Environmental variables for current and future climatic scenario were used in Maxent software for Species Distribution Modelling, and QGIS 3.22 software was used for map processing. These analyses and results revealed that highly suitable area for occurrence of S. litura increased with change in climatic variables.
