Asterisks indicate significant values.

“-“parameters were not tested.

Spearman rank tests were performed to investigate whether parameters of performance experiments with A. obtectus correlate with field weights of Acanthoscelides spp. males and females and field infestation levels. Data for bean population “ISA” and “QUES” were not included in the analysis since no insects emerged from those seeds. P-values and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient “rho” are indicated.
