Crop variety testing - Developments and improvements

Unbiased evaluation of new lines and existing crop varieties and make suggestions for sowing. Incorporation of accredited trials conducted by both public and private organisation. Varieties should be evaluated in accredited trials conducted over a number of seasons and sites

Sex-related morph frequencies in Acrida (F.) (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

Green and brown morphs of the grasshopper Acrida conica (F.) occur sympatrically at several sites in metropolitan Perth, Western Australia. Collections of nymphs from 5 sites and adults from 6 sites showed that the morph frequencies were strongly sex-related in the nymphs, where there were significantly more green females than green males. With adults the proportion of green males increased to near levels found in females
