Table 3 Results of the analysis of variance for the general activity of 3rd instar larvae groups of key lepidopteran pests (i.e., S. frugiperda and A. gemmatalis) after 3, 6 and 16 h of exposure to the LC10 or LC50 of the S. guianensis essential oil estimated for each lepidopteran pest.

From: Essential oil of Siparuna guianensis as an alternative tool for improved lepidopteran control and resistance management practices
