Mean number (±SE) of conidia unbound (A) or bound (B) to larvae, by formulation. To assess conidial attachment S. littoralis first instar larvae were exposed to leaf segments treated with conidia formulated in either aqueous solution or emulsion. After 24 h of exposure, larvae were examined under a confocal microscope to quantify the number of conidia. Larvae were not washed for acquisition or washed with tap water for adhesion. A least square analysis was employed, * indicates significant difference between formulations (FA = 4.3518, pvA = 0.0463, FB = 16.1616, pvB = 0.0002).
