Effects of SRBSDV on the fecundity, and egg hatchability of WBPH
| Combination | Number | Eggs laid/♀ | Hatchability (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ♀(+) × ♂(−) |
15 |
56.33 ± 8.19ab |
94.35 ± 0.04a |
| ♀(−) × ♂(+) |
18 |
59.25 ± 15.73ab |
93.53 ± 0.03a |
| ♀(+) × ♂(+) |
10 |
16.50 ± 4.03b |
66.67 ± 0.21b |
| ♀(−) × ♂(−) (control) | 30 | 69.47 ± 6.88a | 96.23 ± 0.02a |
Note: ♀(+) and ♂(+) are female and male of WBPH infected with SRBSDV; ♀(−) and ♂(−) are female and male of WBPH uninfected with SRBSDV, respectively. Data were means ± SE. The data in the same column followed by different letters indicated the significant difference (P < 0.05).
