This book delves into the world of a serious agricultural pest, the Deccan Grasshopper, a newly identified species wreaking havoc on crops in Southern India. The author, an entomologist who first identified the pest, shares his detailed observations and experiments on the grasshopper's life cycle and destructive habits, painting a vivid picture of the insect's voracious feeding and reproductive patterns. The book explores the complex factors influencing the grasshopper's distribution and the reasons behind its selective targeting of certain crops. It highlights the pest's remarkable adaptability and the challenges it poses to farmers and agricultural practices. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the grasshopper's behavior and life cycle to develop effective control measures.
