Abstract The study aimed at examining tolerance, antixenosis, and antibiosis expression in seven sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) (L.) germplasm for Yellow Sugarcane Aphid (YSA) (Sipha flava) resistance. A 7 × 2 factorial design, laid out in a complete randomized block design and replicated four times was used. Variety was the first factor, with seven treatment levels (96-1107, 00-1165, ZN 10, ZN 8, ZN 9, ZN 3 L, and N14).

There is a wealth of indigenous knowledge about capturing and eating insects in sub-Saharan Africa.

Studies show that insect farming emits less carbon and methane gas than large livestock like cattle and pigs. Much less water is needed to produce the same amount of protein.
