“…Family Acrididae was the most dominant with 21 species of Acridids grouped under 15 genera of seven subfamilies, amounting to 63.6% of total collected species. This observation is in accordance with Capinera et al (1997), Kandibane et al (2004), Thakur et al (2004) and Chandra et al (2007). The second largest family was Tettigonidae with five genera and three subfamilies, which contributed 18.2% (6 species) of the total collected species, while the Pyrgomorphidae ranked third with 15.2% of total species collected (5 species) with four genera but with only one subfamily.…”

“…In the irrigated rice ecosystem in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, Kandibane et al (2004) have collected 21 species of grasshoppers under three families such as Acrididae (71.4%), Tettigoniidae (23.8%) and Pyrgomorphidae (4.7%). They reported that Oxya nititula and O. fuscovittata were the common and dominant taxa in rice ecosystem.…”

“…The changing scenario in agriculture is affecting primary consumers like grasshoppers and thereby creating impacts for entire food webs, thus it is necessary to study the distribution of grasshoppers in relation to their habitats and host plants. Previous studies conducted by , Muralirangan et al (1992), Sanjayan et al (1995), Joshi et al (1999), Kandibane et al (2004) and Mayya et al (2005) have added information on grasshopper fauna of different regions of India. The present study was undertaken to record grasshopper fauna from different host plants…”

“…The most dominant family was Acrididae, comprising 28 species, with the majority found in the Dimu area. These species were further categorized into 15 genera and seven subfamilies, which aligns with findings from previous studies (Capinera et al, 1997;Kandibane et al, 2004). The second largest family, Tettigoniidae, consisted of six species across five genera and three subfamilies, while Pyrgomorphidae ranked third with a total of three species belonging to one genus and one subfamily.…”

Grasshoppers pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity worldwide, causing substantial damage to various crops such as cereals, legumes, orchards, vegetables, grasslands, and forest plantations. This research aimed to study the species diversity of grasshoppers in five selected paddy field locations of Kamrup district, Assam, and assess the efficacy of aqueous extracts from the leaves of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (neem) and Aegle marmelos L. (bael) for controlling the most common grasshopper species, Acrida exaltata, found in the study locations. A total of 36 species of grasshoppers were collected and identified, out of which Acrididae was the most predominant grasshopper family, constituting 77.78% of the total collected species. The experimental results demonstrated abnormal changes in behaviour, including slower movement and increased inactivity among the aqueous extracts treated insects. Both the treated groups showed morphological and behavioural change with the more prominent effects observed from the neem-treated group. Haemolymph analysis revealed the presence of severe deformities in both treated groups, such as the spindle-shaped formation of cells, nuclear membrane disintegration, cell fusion and stacking, cytoplasmic vacuole formation, and cytoplasm degeneration. These findings demonstrate the pesticidal potential of neem and bael extracts against the Acrida exaltata grasshopper species, following its toxic impact on haematological, physiological, and morphological behaviour, suggesting the need for further research on their use as effective and environmentally friendly control measures against grasshopper pest infestations in densely vegetated and paddy fields in the region.

Grasshoppers are major pests of agriculture throughout much of the world. Chemical control of grasshoppers played a major role in suppression the damage of these pests. Efficacy of some chemical insecticide formulations was studied against 3rd, 4th and 5th nymphal instars and adults of different species of grasshoppers at the region of Gharb El-Mawhoop, New-Valley governorate, Egypt by using micron ULVA sprayer (ULVA+), Knapsack mist blower fifed with micron air rotary cage (AU8000) and Knapsack mist blower (ordinary back motor). Mortality percentages were calculated after 24, 48 and 72 hrs post-treatment for chemical insecticide treatments.The results indicated that Knapsack mist blower fitted with micron air rotary cage (AU8000) was more effective against 3rd, 4th and 5th nymphal instars and adults of grasshoppers than micron ULVA sprayer (ULVA+) for all treatments. Cypermethrin, fipronil, and fenitrothion recorded more toxicity after 24, 48 and 72 hrs by using full doses more than half doses or quarter doses against nymphal instars and adult stages of grasshoppers, despite of that, the application with half dose give mortality percentages approximately as the full dose, which resulted in reduction of the amount of pesticides and declined pollution of environmental ecosystems, so it is preferable to use the half dose for saving money and low pollution.Conclusively, from this results it could be concluded that the pesticides used have been descendingly arranged according to the efficiency as cypermethrin> fipronil > fenitrothion at all the treatments REFERNCES Abdel-Fatah, T.A.
