Dear Jay Italiya , Sreekanth M The damage on the leaf looks to be from army worms. But the caterpillar in the picture is not caterpillar of army worm. Dust malathion powder 8 to 10 kgs per acre. OR you can also spray Azadaractin or any neem oil based insecticide 2 ml in one litre of water. About 300 litres of spray solution may be required per acre. Please take care to use proper concentration of pesticides and also mix the pesticide with water outside the sprayer equipment for better results. Good luck.
