Females, n 19 22 21
First choice control: fungicide 10 : 9 12 : 10 9: 12
Average choice (SEM) 0.56 (± 0.1) 0.47 (± 0.1) 0.49 (± 0.1)
Time in first trial (SEM), min 8.16 (± 1.8) 18.73 (± 3.9) 15.57 (± 3.3)
Average time (SEM), min 10.78 (± 1.7) 12.53 (± 1.6) 14.17 (± 1.6)
Males, n 23 24 24
First choice control: fungicide 14 : 9 12 : 12 12 : 12
Average choice (SEM) 0.46 (± 0.1) 0.51 (± 0.1) 0.51 (± 0.1)
Time in first trial, (SEM) min, by type control 15.03 (± 2.5): fungicide 22.36 (± 3.2)
Average time (SEM), min 14.09 (± 2.1) 11.17 (± 1.9) 13.19 (± 2.2)

First choice refers to which treated leaf the beetles chose first, average choice (± SEM) to how beetles chose on average (random choice = 0.5), the time it took the first leaf for females, by different concentrations, and for different leaf types for males and finally the average time (± SEM) in min it took for beetles to choose the leaves.
