Toxicity of cypermethrin to months Heliothis virescens ====================================================== Collett (1991) reports the results of an experiment on the toxicity of the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens to doses of the pyrethoid trans-cypermethin to which the moths were beginning to show resistance. Batches of 20 moths of each sex were exposed for 3 days to the pyretoid and the number in each batch which were dead or knocked down was recorded. We fit a logistic regression model using log2(dose) since the doses are powers of two.
