Table 2 Mean percentage (±SE) of neonates of S. frugiperda that were found on the plant on Bt cotton and non-Bt cotton at the different tested time intervals. Means within the same time interval column with the same lowercase letter or means between strains within the same row with the same capital letters are not significantly different (P = 0.05, Tukey’s test). Original data.
