RAPD analysis was carried out in Spodoptera litura (F.) collected from eight locations of Kumaon region, Uttarakhand. Using ten RAPD markers, a total of 126 loci were amplified, of which 113 loci were polymorphic showing 89.68% polymorphism. The results suggest the development of new populations with demographic variation, temperature and selection pressure of pesticides.
