Table 2. Logit regression of concentration-mortality response of Ceratitis capitata and Drosophila suzukii adults that consumed a range of concentrations of spinosad.

Bioassays were performed on three batches of C. capitata (both sexes) and an additional batch (4) in which each sex was treated separately.

LD50 values were calculated based on LC50 values and the volume of solution ingested on average by each species (shown in Table 1).
