LD25 = lethal dose that killed 25% of the exposed adult flies; LD50 = lethal dose that killed 50% of the exposed adult flies; LD99 = lethal dose that killed 99% of the exposed adult flies; UCL: Upper confidence limit; LCL: Lower confidence limit; χ2 = chi-square; df = degrees of freedom; SE = standard error. The unit of LD is µg/fly.
