Pyrethrum repels <i>D</i>. <i>melanogaster</i> and <i>D</i>. <i>suzukii</i>.

Abstract

<p>(A) Schematic drawing of a T-maze assay. (B) T-maze assay measures of pyrethrum repellency in <i>D</i>. <i>melanogaster</i> [<i>F</i>_(2,24) = 7.96, <i>P</i> = 0.002; *<i>P</i> < 0.05, **<i>P</i> < 0.01 compared to control, One-Way ANOVA, <i>n</i> = 8 for control, <i>n</i> = 10 for 10⁻² dilution (v v^-1), and <i>n</i> = 9 for 0.5 dilution (v v^-1)]. (C) T-maze assay measures of pyrethrum repellency in <i>D</i>. <i>suzukii</i> [<i>t</i> = 4.42, <i>d</i>.<i>f</i>. = 9, <i>P</i> = 0.002; **<i>P</i> < 0.01 compared to control, <i>t</i>-test, <i>n</i> = 4 for control, and <i>n</i> = 7 for 0.5 dilution (v v^-1)]. (D) Schematic drawing of a two-choice attraction assay. (E) Two-choice attraction assay measures of pyrethrum repellency in <i>D</i>. <i>melanogaster</i> [<i>t</i> = 5.16, <i>d</i>.<i>f</i>. = 10, <i>P</i> < 0.001; ***<i>P</i> < 0.001 compared to control, <i>t</i>-test, <i>n</i> = 5 for control, and <i>n</i> = 7 for 0.5 dilution (v v^-1)]. (F) Two-choice attraction assay measures of pyrethrum repellency in <i>D</i>. <i>suzukii</i> [<i>t</i> = 10.10, <i>d</i>.<i>f</i>. = 8, <i>P</i> < 0.001; ***<i>P</i> < 0.001 compared to control, <i>t</i>-test, <i>n</i> = 4 for control, and <i>n</i> = 6 for 0.5 dilution (v v^-1)].</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
