Percent mortality (mean ± SE; sample size n = 16) of worker individuals of subterranean termite Odontotermes obesus in response to different treatments recorded at different post-exposure time intervals. Treatments included different formulated pellets containing sugarcane bagasse powder with (T1SPF) and without (T2SPC) fipronil, and maize cob powder with (T3MPF) and without (T4MPC) fipronil. Different lettersindicate the significant difference among treatments (factorial (two factor) one-way ANOVA at α = 0.05).
Percent mortality (mean ± SE; sample size n = 4) of worker individuals of subterranean termite Odontotermes obesus in response to different treatments recorded at different post-exposure time intervals. Treatments included different formulated pellets containing sugarcane bagasse powder with (T1SPF) and without (T2SPC) fipronil, and maize cob powder with (T3MPF) and without (T4MPC) fipronil. Different letters indicate the significant difference among treatments (factorial (two factor) one-way ANOVA at α = 0.05). DAT: days after treatment.
