Table 3 Parental fungicide exposure, parental insecticide resistance genotype (RR/RS), and their interaction do not affect egg production but affect egg hatching within 30 days, in the Colorado potato beetles, from Belchow and Vermont populations. Parents were either homozygous (RR) or heterozygous (RS) for the S291G mutation in the acetylcholinesterase-2 gene. Significant results (p < 0.05) are shown in bold.
