The highest mortality percentage on four days after application on C. militaris 35 gr (25%) and the lowest on C. militaris 10 grams (7.50%). The highest mortality percentage on six days after the application on C. militaris 35 grams, C. militaris 30 grams and C. militaris 25 grams (100%) and the lowest on C. militaris 10 grams (85%).
