TABLE 1.
Larval and pupal toxicity of the phyco-synthesized MgO-NPs against the house fly Musca domestica.
| Targeted instars | Mortality percentages (%) at different MgO-NPs concentrations | LC50 | LC90 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 μg mL−1 | 4 μg mL−1 | 6 μg mL−1 | 8 μg mL−1 | 10 μg mL−1 | |||
| I | 40.0 ± 2.54 | 61.6 ± 3.78 | 73.2 ± 2.58 | 94.4 ± 1.14 | 99.0 ± 1.22 | 3.08 | 7.46 |
| II | 36.6 ± 2.30 | 57.2 ± 1.48 | 67.6 ± 1.81 | 86.2 ± 2.58 | 95.0 ± 1.73 | 3.49 | 8.89 |
| III | 30.8 ± 2.38 | 42.4 ± 2.50 | 61.2 ± 3.42 | 72.2 ± 3.11 | 92.2 ± 2.58 | 4.64 | 10.4 |
| Pupa | 22.4 ± 2.60 | 36.8 ± 1.64 | 51.0 ± 2.64 | 63.4 ± 2.96 | 81.0 ± 3.16 | 5.86 | 12.3 |
Mortality averages are means ± SD, of five replicates. No mortality was exhibited in the control. LC50 is the lethal concentration that kills 50%. LC90 is the lethal concentration that kills 90% of the treated larva or pupa.
