It is mentioned in Devi Bhagavata Purana somewhere that Lord Rama also did Durga Navaratri "Puja / Upasana" Anusthan with the purpose of #) getting Mata Sita back, and #) victory over Ravana.
Also in Devi Bhagwat (देवी भागवत) Ved Vyasa Ji told Durga Navratri Procedure to Janmejay (जनमेजय) to remove all kinds of sorrows & sufferings and to gain prosperity in life. In the month of Chaitra (Vasant) and Sharad, many people fall sick 'coz it is the transitional time from one weather to another. If they do fasting, Dhyan, Puja, and Upasana -- they get new energy from the Devi Durga and overcome any kind of problems, it is also the aspect.
According Hindu Panchang:
In Chaitra (Vasant) Mas: Navratri is celebrated from Shukla Pratipada to Shukla Navami (चैत्र शुक्ल प्रथम नौ-तिथि ),
In Sharad (Ashwin) Mas: Navratri is also celebrated from Shukla Paratipada to Shukla Navami (आश्विन शुक्ल प्रथम नौ-तिथि )
Note: If Tithi Amavasya and Shukla Pratipada fall in the same day, then Navratri starts from Dwitiya Tithi (द्वितीय तिथि). This is the rule.
