TABLE 2.

Nutritional indices in fifth-instar larvae of Glyphodes pyloalis feeding on two concentrations of Wihania somnifera.

Treatment AD (%) ECD (%) ECI (%) RGR (mg/mg day–1) CI (mg/mg day–1) (FDI) (%)
Control 56.97 ± 10.46b 9.12 ± 5.29a 8.99 ± 1.05a 0.10 ± 0.01a 2.95 ± 0.53a 0c
T5* 76.67 ± 7.04ab -4.90 ± 1.65ab -20 ± 8.37a -0.13 ± 0.04b 3.67 ± 0.86a 48.13 ± 6.58b
T15 95.59 ± 1.34a -7.84 ± 1.42b -198.41 ± 55.55b -0.2 ± 1.96b 2.83 ± 0.46a 87.7 ± 0.98a

T5 = 5% and T15 = 15% Means with the same lowercase letters in a column are not significantly different at P < 0.05 (Tukey’s test). AD, approximate digestibility; ECI, efficiency of conversion of ingested food; ECD, efficiency of conversion of digested food; CI, consumption index; RGR, relative growth rate; FDI, feeding deterrence index.
