Feeding locusts on freeze-dried plants: a new rearing method for herbivorous insects
1980
LOUVEAUX, A. | MAINGUET, A.M. | GILLON, Y.
The complete development and reproduction of Locusta migratoria was shown to occur using freeze-dried wheat seedlings as food; water being provided separately. This method makes the rearing of locusts easier, and allows the control of water and food intake. It also makes it possible to experiment at the same time on the nutritional value of plants of different growth stages, or plants grown in different conditions.
