  1. Values of log-rank statistic for testing homogeneity of survival distribution of MCB when larvae were reared on previously infested, wounded, treated with regurgitant upon wounding, treated with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and untreated (control) plants. Positive values of log-rank statistic indicate that number of dead larvae is greater than that expected under the null hypothesis of equivalent survival distributions
  2. aLog-rank statistics followed by the same letter in the same row indicate that survival curves were homogeneous (p > 0.05)
