Table 6. LT50 values from fumigation bioassay of methyl benzoate (MB) against Bemisia tabaci adults for different concentrations (n = 90).

MB concentration (%) LT50 (h) 95% CI+ (lower- upper) Slope (± SE) χ2 (df)
1.0 5.0a (2.4–8.5) 3.5 (0.9) 26.1 (3)
0.5 7.2b (6.5–8.2) 2.6 (0.3) 2.1 (3)
0.25 11.2c (9.3–15.1) 2.0 (0.3) 1.4 (3)
0.1 16.3d (12.5–26.8) 2.0 (0.3) 1.5 (3)

+Confidence interval.

The LT50 value was calculated using corrected mortality. LT50 values followed by different letters are significantly different (95% CI) across MB concentrations
