Table IV

A: Mortality and proportion of individuals (%) of A. tumida escaping from diagnostic trays (N = 7 replicates) in the laboratory with diatomaceous earth (FS 90.0s), slaked lime [Ca(OH)₂] and sand as control after 24 hours (adults: n = 10) and 34 hours (wandering larvae: n = 10). B: Number of adults in naturally infested field colonies in diagnostic trays with DE, slaked lime or sand (control). Values indicate means ± SD. Results of the Kruskal-Wallis tests H₂ (N = 21) and Mann-Whitney U as post hoc tests (α = 0.0167) are shown. The comparison between numbers of adult SHB (n) in the field were performed with a Friedman ANOVA χ² (N = 7) and α = 0.05.
