Larval mortality presented as Mean ± SD of three replicates, means with different letters are significantly different P < 0.05. (LC₂₅) concentration that kills 25% of population, (LC₇₅) concentration that kills 75% of population, (LCL) lower confidence limit, (UCL) upper confidence limit, χ² Chi-square, (n. s.) not significant at Alpha = 0.05
