“…Moreover, the evaluation of insects for mass rearing mainly occurs under well-regulated laboratory conditions, which are not practically maintainable by most resource-poor smallholder farmers. Ganguly et al (2020) investigated the potential of mass production of the shorthorned grasshopper Spathosternum prasiniferum prasiniferum Walker for feeding livestock in India under ambient conditions. Their results show that a single pair of this grasshopper could produce 66,326 individuals or approximately 4 kg per year.…”
