EO activity (at various doses) on eggs laid and emergence of C. maculatus. Results are expressed as mean ± SD.
| Dose of EOD (µL) | Number of Eggs Laid | Reduction of Eggs Laid (%) | Percentage of Adult Emergence | Reduction of Emergence (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control (0) | 184.67 ± 23.43 a | - | 111.67 ± 6.51 a | - |
| 1 | 93.67 ± 9.61 ab | 49.28 ± 5.20 a | 75.33 ± 6.51 ab | 32.53 ± 5.82 ab |
| 5 | 65.0 ± 6.00 ab | 64.80 ± 3.24 ab | 51.67 ± 9.07 ab | 53.73 ± 8.12 a |
| 10 | 32.33 ± 7.02 abc | 82.49 ± 3.80 ab | 21.67 ± 6.11 abc | 80.59 ± 5.47 ab |
| 20 | 15.33 ± 3.51 abc | 91.69 ± 1.90 ab | 9.67 ± 2.31 ab | 91.34 ± 2.06 ab |
Column values with the same letter differed significantly (p < 0.05 (Tukey’s HSD test). The results are presented as mean ± SD. All treatments had a significant effect compared with the control (F = 5.09, p = 0.016).
