Data shows LT50 value and percent mean mortality ± SE of 3 replicates 15 d post-exposure at 25 °C. LT50 were analyzed by linear regression. The number ‘0’ in the quantities column represent control treatments. Means followed by the different letter are significantly different (Tukey’s HSD test, P < 0.05).
