Laboratory studies on the impact of drought on egg development, survival and hatchling weight in Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Reiche and Fairmaire)

Abstract: The influence of drought on egg development, survival and hatchling weight was studied in the solitary phase of Locusts migratoria migratorioides (Reiche and Fairmaire). There was retarding effect of drought on the rate of egg development. The level of egg survival was towered during prolonged drought, which also led to a decline in hatchling weight. Also the rate of egg survival was lower in eggpods experiencing longer incubation period.
