Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control

Table 5 The effect of cell-free supernatants from the symbiotic bacteria of different entomopathogenic on the mortality (%) of different larval instars of Agrotis segetum for 1, 2 and 3-day post application under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1 °C, R.H. 60%)

*ÜTP-5: Xenorhabdus bovienii, MÇB-8: X. bovienii, AVB-15: Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. kayaii
*L3: Third larval instar of Agrotis segetum; L4: Fourth larval instar of A. segetum
^aDifferent capital letters show statistically significant differences among exposure times for each cell-free supernatant of EPN (Tukey, P ≤ 0.05)
^bDifferent lowercase letters show statistically significant differences between 3rd and 4th larval stages for each cell-free supernatant of EPN (Tukey, P ≤ 0.05)
