“…Pest species are few, taking into account the number of these that inhabit the ecosystem. The grasshoppers (Orthoptera: acrididae) cause large losses in agriculture, especially in crops of beans and maizes as well as in natural pastures in states whose altitude is over 2,000 meters above sea level, such as Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, Aguascalientes, Hidalgo Mexico, Michoacán, Puebla, Tlaxcala and Guanajuato, where the genera Melanoplus, Boopedum, Mermiria, Sphenarium and Brachystola have been recorded (García-Gutiérrez and González-Maldonado, 2009;Uribe-González and Santiago-Basilio, 2012). A number of alternatives have been developed to reduce the problems caused by grasshoppers in crops.…”
