  1. LC50 concentration was calculated using a Probit analysis of the sum of dead and moribund insects relative to the total number of treated insects. “**”Indicates growth inhibition observed on treated insects at multiple concentrations. “NC” indicates that confidence intervals (CI) were not calculated.
