TABLE 2.
Median lethal time (LT50) values of Cordyceps fumosorosea-BC nanoparticles against immature life stages of Bemisia tabaci.
| Life stage | Mortality function | LT50 (days) | R2 |
| 2nd instar nymph | 3.85 + 2.23x | 3.25 ± 0.29 c | 0.984 |
| 3rd instar nymph | 3.45 + 2.69x | 3.69 ± 0.52 b | 0.988 |
| Pupa | 3.70 + 2.12x | 4.07 ± 0.51 a | 0.994 |
Means in the same column followed by different letters are significantly different from each other (Tukey’s P < 0.05). Each batch (N = 30) of immatures was treated with a 50 ppm concentration of nanoparticles.
