    D All of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All grasshoppers lay their eggs in soil, in the form of tight clustered pods. Relatively dry soils, undisturbed by tillage or irrigations, are preferred. Egg laying may be concentrated at certain sites with favourable soil texture, slope, and orientation, producing ‘egg beds.’
