  1. Data are represented as a mean ± SD of each of ten replicates (n = 10) in percentage. Same letters indicate no significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) between different test formulations (a, b, c) and concentrations (u, v, wx, y, z) used in our study according to Tukey’s HSD and Games Howell’s test. Italics show formulation and concentrations which can be selected for further investigation studies. NF Nanoformulations; 1: non-nanoparent compound 1; 7: non-nanoparent compound 7. Methoxyfenozide was used as the standard (STD) in this study
