Triflumuron Effects on the Physiology and Reproduction of Rhodnius prolixus Adult Females

Table 5

Evaluation of the continuous contact treatment with TFM on Rhodnius prolixus egg hatching. Petri dishes were prepared by applying Starycide to obtain final concentrations of 0.1–10 µL/cm2 at the bottom of each plate. Controls received no Starycide. Freshly deposited eggs were then placed inside the Petri dishes. Values are means ± SD of at least three experiments with 10 eggs each.
