  1. 1Mortality rate at 72 h. Extracts were considered active when they showed > 90% mortality rate at 72 h.
  2. 2Percent settling inhibition (%SI, n = 200 insects). Extracts were considered active when they showed > 70% SI. 3Percent feeding inhibition (% FI, n = 12 insects). Extracts were considered active when they showed > 70% FI.
  3. Data shows mean ± standard error.
