Comparative Efficacy of Insecticide Active Ingredients Across Developmental Stages of the Grey Pineapple Mealybug, Dysmicoccus neobrevipes (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on Aglaonema rotundum

Overview This dataset contains four worksheets. Each worksheet contains data on insecticide treatment of imago, nymphs, eggs, as well as temperature and humidity. Sheet 1 (Imago treatment). The first worksheet contains data from observations of the imago after insecticide treatment. Treatment : type of active ingredient and control. Replication : repeat for each treatment. Second day : number of imago that died on the second day of observation. Fourth day : number of imago that died on the fourth day of observation. Sixth day : number of imago that died on the sixth day of observation. Eighth day : number of imago that died on the eight day of observation. Average : average value of all replication. Mortality (%) : mortality percentage of all replications. Standard deviation : statistical measure used to determine how close or far the data values in a group are from their average (mean) value. Standard error : statistical measure that indicates how accurately the sample mean represents the true population mean. Data for the ANOVA test includes treatment (type of active ingredient and control), observation time, replication, number of melaybugs dead in each replication. Sheet 2 (Nymph treatment). The second worksheet contains data from observations of the nymph after insecticide treatment. Treatment : type of active ingredient and control. Replication : repeat for each treatment. Second day : number of imago that died on the second day of observation. Fourth day : number of imago that died on the fourth day of observation. Sixth day : number of imago that died on the sixth day of observation. Eighth day : number of imago that died on the eight day of observation. Average : average value of all replication. Mortality (%) : mortality percentage of all replications. Standard deviation : statistical measure used to determine how close or far the data values in a group are from their average (mean) value. Standard error : statistical measure that indicates how accurately the sample mean represents the true population mean. Data for the ANOVA test includes treatment (type of active ingredient and control), observation time, replication, number of melaybugs dead in each replication. Sheet 3 (Egg treatment). The third worksheet contains data from observations of the egg after insecticide treatment. Treatment : type of active ingredient and control. Replication : repeat for each treatment. Number of eggs (survival egg) : Number of eggs in each replication. Average : Average number of eggs from three replicates. Suppression rate nymph emergence (%) : average percentage of the number of nymphs that emerged from three replicates. Standard deviation : statistical measure used to determine how close or far the data values in a group are from their average (mean) value. Standard error : statistical measure that indicates how accurately the sample mean represents the true population mean. Data for the ANOVA test includes treatment (type of active ingredient and control), replication, number of egg in each replication. Sheet 4 (Temperature & Humidity). Observe temperature and humidity every day for one month.
