  • Like other animals, grasshopper eats and excretes in the soil. Its waste increases the fertility of the soil and promotes plant growth.
  • Grasshopper body is rich in protein, on its death microorganisms break down its body and enrich the soil and helps plants to grow.
  • Grasshoppers prevent over growth of plants as it consume about 10% of the available plant biomass, thus maintain ecological balance.
