Popis: 0.34 ppm, 1.60 ppm, and 1.88 ppm for males and 0.14 ppm, 0.44 ppm, 1.68 ppm and 2.17 ppm for females. At 72 h post treatment Diazinon was the most toxic followed by Malathion, Lufenuron and Methoxyfenozide to Bactrocera zonata, LC 50 values were 0.02 ppm, 0.13 ppm, 0.22 ppm and 0.51 ppm for males and 0.07 ppm, 0.16ppm, 0.55 ppm and 0.62 ppm for females. It is observed that LC 50 values for treated adult females increased more than in the treated adult males at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post treatment. It means that the adult males were more susceptible to the tested insecticides than the adult females.
