Table 1. Percentage of cumulative mortality during the larval, pupal, and adult stages in control and pyriproxyfen-treated bees.
Control water | Control acetone | Pyriproxyfen 23 ng | Pyriproxyfen 57 ng | χ² tests | P | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Larval stage (day 7) | 9.72 | 9.72 | 11.11 | 11.11 | 0.30 | 0.96 |
Pupal stage (day 15) | 14.58 | 18.75 | 15.97 | 14.58 | 1.24 | 0.74 |
Adult stage (day 20) | 22.22 | 29.86 | 24.31 | 24.31 | 2.46 | 0.48 |
For each treatment group and developmental stage, percentages were established from a total of 144 larvae.
