- Observation Protectant efficacy differed for P. truncatus, with some differences among protectants.
- Observation The level of protectant efficacy depended on the P. truncatus population tested.
- Observation Actellic Super Chirindamatura Dust was the least effective protectant against P. truncatus, with 11.6-34.6% mortality.
- Observation Actellic Gold Chirindamatura Dust controlled both P. truncatus and S. zeamais, with 100% mortality across all populations tested.
- Observation Hurudza and Shumba Super Dust were very effective against the Bindura and laboratory LGB populations.
- Observation Hurudza and Shumba Super Dust were not effective against the Headlands and Murehwa LGB populations.
