Percent mortality was calculated as Average ± SD and analysed by one way ANOVA (P<0.05, df between the groups = 11, df within the groups = 24, F = 129.41). Means were compared using the DMRT at (P<0.05) (SPSS software); means superscripted with same letter within a column are not significantly different.
