From: Temperature-dependent modelling and spatial prediction reveal suitable geographical areas for deployment of two Metarhizium anisopliae isolates for Tuta absoluta management

Figure 5

Observed and predicted mortality of adult Tuta absoluta by Metarhizium anisopliae isolates ICIPE 18, ICIPE 20 and ICIPE 665 in relation to temperature using the linear and nonlinear models. The blue dots on the graph represent the cumulative values of the proportion of adult Tuta absoluta that were killed by the three isolates during the experiments at the respective temperatures. The curve represents the Logan-4 and Logan-1 nonlinear models that best fits the experimental data points and were used to predict the level of efficacy of isolates (A) ICIPE 18, (B) ICIPE 20 and (C) ICIPE 665 against adult Tuta absoluta. Fitted models are the dashed straight lines for linear regression and solid lines for the Logan models. Dashed lines above and below represent the upper and lower 95% confidence interval (n = 60; N = 4; Tukey’s HSD test).
