Table 2.

Bioassay of Bacillus thuringiensis isolates against the 1st instar larvae of Spodoptera exigua.

Bt isolate Instar Regression equation LC50 (mg/ml) 95% Confidence limite
Bt GS57 1st instar larvae y = 0.599 + 1.267x 0.337 0.214 ~ 0.501
Bt GS57△pyrE 1st instar larvae y = 0.369 + 0.765x 0.329 0.169 ~ 0.563

LC50 is the concentration lethal to half of S. exigua larvae at 72 h. N = 15 (the number of larvae treated), biological repeat three times.
