Abstract

AbstractFeeding studies showed that survival to adult and adult body weight were much reduced when colonies of the migratory grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes (Fabricius), were reared on a diet of fresh lettuce alone. This was largely due to the high moisture content of the fresh lettuce. Dried-lettuce meal, bran, or alfalfa meal as supplements to increase the intake of solids improved survival and body weight very markedly.
