Table 1. Corrected mortality (%), mean survival time and LT50 (days) of L. decemlineata immature stages treated by suspensions of 5×107 blastospores/ml of I. fumosorosea CCM 8367.

Treated Stage Mortalitya Mean survival time ± SEb LT50 (95% CI) Nc Wilcoxon testd
Last-instar larva 89.2 3.80±0.15 3.5 (3.0–4.0) 40 a
Pre-pupa 82.9 4.38±0.19 4.0 (4.0–5.0) 40 ab
Pupa 77.5 4.80±0.27 5.0 (5.0–6.0) 40 b

a Percent of dead individuals at the end of experiment corrected for mortality in control using Abbott equation [44].

b The mean survival time and its standard error were underestimated because the largest observation was censored.

c Total number of individuals in bioassay.

d Identical lowercase letters within a column indicates no significant differences at α = 0.05 adjusted according to the Holm-Bonferroni method for multiple comparisons [46].
