...he average C.I. the male grasshoppers fed on crested wheatgrass and western wheatgrass were calculated to be 0.9977 and 1.1094, respectively. Among the females those feeding on crested wheatgrass a C.I. of 1.0006 were recorded compared to 1.1733 on western wheatgrass. During this period the average G.R. of male grasshopper was 0.0848 on crested wheatgrass and 0.0813 on western wheatgrass. Female gras...
