a

LC50s were determined experimentally; 95% fiducial limits determined by Probit analysis are given in parentheses.

b

Theoretical LC50s were calculated by using Tabashnik's equation and assuming a simple additive effect.

c

Synergism factors were calculated by dividing the expected LC50 by the observed LC50.
