Developmental periods (days) (mean ± SE) of the B. dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) larvae in the different treatment groups.
| Stage | Conditions | Control | Irradiation |
|---|---|---|---|

| Sup-Hypoxia (0.50%) | 4.05 ± 2.07 aA | 4.23 ± 1.94 aA | |
| Pupa | Normoxia | 5.48 ± 0.70 c | N.A. |
| Hypoxia (5%) | 5.89 ± 0.51 b | N.A. | |
| Sup-Hypoxia (0.50%) | 6.52 ± 0.78 a | N.A. | |
| Adult | Normoxia | N.A. | N |
| Hypoxia (5%) | N.A. | N | |
| Sup-Hypoxia (0.50%) | N.A. | N |
Different lowercase letters (a, b and c) indicate significantly different means within a row (p < 0.05); and different uppercase letters (A and B) in the same columns are significantly different at the 0.05 level based on the one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test. N.A. = Not Applicable; N = No data.
