Effects of Gamma Irradiation on the Fecundity, Fertility, and Longevity of the Invasive Stink Bug Pest <i>Bagrada hilaris</i> (Burmeister) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).

As regards the analysis of deviance performed on fertility data ( Table 1 ), irradiation dose showed a strong and highly significant negative effect on fertility (χ 2 = 54.17, p -value = 1.8 × 10 −13 ***), whereas only a weak tendency was detected for the interaction term.

As the Kaplan Meyer curves show, the highest longevity values were recorded for some untreated individuals, but most of those irradiated showed a trend very similar to the untreated ones or higher, at least for the first 30 days of the bioassay ( Table 5 and Figure A2 in Appendix A ). 4.
