Evaluation of selected agricultural by-products as potential feeds for rearing edible grasshopper, Ruspolia differens (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)

Table 3 Relationship between growth performance parameters of R. differens and dietary composition of the diets fed on

Dietary value	Growth parameter	r	p-value
Crude fibre	Survival	− 0.96	0.042
Crude fibre	Development time	0.98	0.022
Crude fat	Fresh adult weight 14 days after emergence	0.95	0.051

The correlation coefficient, r, indicates the relationship between dietary nutrients and the growth parameter. Significant correlation at p ≤ 0.05
