The studies on the comparative biology of S. litura were carried out in laboratory on vegetable and grain soybean. The duration of egg, larva, prepupa and pupal period lasted for 3.13, 16.36, 1.30 and 8.48 days respectively on vegetable soybean. Where has different stages viz., the egg, larva, pre pupa and pupal period was lasted in 2.04, 14.39, 0.91 and 7.95 days respectively o grain soybean. The fecundity was 279.50 in on vegetable soybean. The mean longevity of adult with food (10% honey solution) was ranged between 9.16 to 9.16 to 9.23 and 5.20 to 5.40 days in female and male moth. The mean longevity of female and male moth without food was ranged between 5.10 to 5.50 and 3.90 to 3.98 days respectively on vegetable soybean during June to November 2012. Mean total life cycle lasted between 29.88 and 32.12 days on vegetable soybean, it was 27.10 and 30.14 days on grain soybean respectively during June to November 2012.
