“–” indicates that either no insects remained alive or that the number of alive individuals was insufficient for measurement.
Each insecticidal protein treatments was statistically compared with the control at each sampling date. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the toxin treatment and the control (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01).
