Table II
Different life stages of A. tumida (%) from laboratory trials in the USA, 35 days after setting n = 10 wandering larvae (N = 12 replicates) for pupation on non-autoclaved soil mixed with different quantities of slaked lime at 30 °C. Values indicate means ± SD, results of the Kruskal-Wallis tests and multiple comparison as post hoc tests (α = 0.05) are shown, column numbers followed by different letters indicate significant differences between them.
