Number of eggs laid by female C. suppressalis on rice plants that were either uninfested (Control), infested by SSB larvae only (SSB), BPH only (BPH), or both SSB and BPH (SSB/BPH). a Control versus SSB larva-infested plants (n = 3). b Control versus BPH-infested plants (n = 3). c Control versus dually infested plants (n = 4). d SSB larva-infested plants versus dually infested plants (n = 4). Exact P-values = 5.30e-13 (Control vs SSB), 2.86e-07 (Control vs BPH), 0.032 (Control vs SSB/BPH), and 2.74e-07 (SSB vs SSB/BPH). Two-sided likelihood ratio test with generalized lineal mixed model was conducted for the number of eggs (Poisson distribution error). Each bar represents the mean ± SE. Data columns with asterisks (***P < 0.001, *P < 0.05) indicate significant differences between treatments.
