TABLE 6.

Percentage (mean ± SE) of termites aggregated in/on the treated (containing conidia of Trichoderma species or Metarhizium anisopliae alone or together) or untreated soil blocks, or stationing on the Petri dishes.

T. harzianum alone	62.20 ± 5.22a	22.89 ± 4.11b	14.91 ± 2.39b	22.00	2, 10	<0.0001	Attractive

M. anisopliae and T. atroviride	22.30 ± 4.01b	12.14 ± 1.85c	65.56 ± 4.10a	56.80	2, 10	<0.0001	Repellent
M. anisopliae alone	15.00 ± 3.20b	15.09 ± 2.89b	65.95 ± 4.97a	25.72	2, 10	<0.0001	Repellent

Different letters within the same row indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). Attractive effects indicate that significantly more termites aggregated in/on the treated soil blocks compared with untreated ones. Repellent effects indicate that significantly fewer termites aggregated in/on the treated soil blocks compared with untreated ones. N.A. indicates no significant difference in percentages of termites when compared between treated and untreated soil blocks.
