aLC50 and RR50 values are in μg per vial or diet cup; mortality was scored at 24 h.

bTest for slope significance indicates dose affects mortality.

cTest for goodness-of-fit (GoF) significance indicates error from probit trend is greater than expected for simple binomial response.

dRR50 (resistance ratio) and 95% CI calculated using formula from Robertson and Priestler (1992). Differences among SR50 values are significant if 95% CI do not include 1.0. RR50 compare the LC50s among the highest LC50 as a control.

(-)Values for CI not calculated.
