The damage was to the extent of 30 percent in bajra and 70 percent in sorghum in the fields of Agricultural Research Station, Ananthapuramu. The marks of identification of the larvae and damage symptoms in the leaf whorl are useful tools to identify the larvae of fall army worm. The pest is gradually spreading to other millets of Ananthapuramu district in Andhra Pradesh, India.
