Fig. 3.

Pupal mortality of Spodoptera litura reared on different diets. Error bars indicate the mean of replicates. Values with different letters show a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) within generations of similar treatments as determined by the LSD test.

Fig. 2.

Larval mortality of Spodoptera litura reared on different diets. Error bars indicate the mean of replicates. Values with different letters show a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) within generations of similar treatments as determined by the LSD test.

Percentage pupation of Spodoptera litura reared on different diets. Error bars indicate the mean of replicates. Values with different letters show a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) within generations of similar treatments as determined by the LSD test.

Fig. 1.

Eclosion (percent egg hatching) of Spodoptera litura reared on different diets. Error bars indicate the mean of replicates. Values with different letters show a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) within generations of similar treatments as determined by the LSD test.
