In all other cases, equation is of the type y = a + bx + cx2. P values and lack-of-fit P-values for preoviposition period, oviposition period, postoviposition period, oviposition rate, longevity, fecundity, and percentage of life span spent in oviposition were P = 0.00119, P = 0, P = 0, P = 0, P = 0, P = 0.00015, and P = 0.00036, respectively; and 0.97, 0.97, 0.84, 0.24, 0.99, 0.99, and 0.57, respectively. In all cases df = 2,21.
