Grasshopper feeding bioassay for plant defense
Local Knowledge Graph (41 entities)
Loading graph...
Description
Choice feeding trials where individual grasshoppers are offered leaves from different plant treatments to measure relative herbivory rates. Herbivory is quantified by measuring leaf area consumed using image analysis.
Typical Equipment
- arenas
- Gothic Research Center
- Weather-Port
- camera
- ImageJ software
Output Measurements
- leaf area consumed
- herbivory rate
- feeding preference
