Bioassay 1 was conducted in two separate series (1, 2), each with 10 replicates per treatment. Two different set-ups were assessed, where water-apple juice substrate was treated with insecticides before (A) or after (B) egg deposition. Different letters within the same column and series indicate significant differences between means (P < 0.05).
