Table 4. Net reproductive rates (R0) for Liriomyza sativae and L. trifolii in pure and mixed cultures maintained at four different temperatures#.
Temperature (°C) | Pure culture | Mixed culture | Pure culture | |

Values for R0 were logarithmically transformed [ln (R0)] before analysis. Back transformed means and their 95% confidence limits (in brackets) are presented.
For each species, means within rows followed by the same uppercase letter are not significantly different (P>0.05).
For each culture type, means followed by the same lower case letter are not significantly different (P>0.05).
