Executive summary:

Lightbrown apple moth (Epihyas postvittana - LBMA) larvae (III and V instars) were exposed to C15 Ampol CPD (C15 alkane) by short immersion (30sec) into an aqueous emulsion of the substance. Mortality was assessed after 4h and 24 h.

The LC50 of C15 Ampol CPD for LBMA was found to be 0.47 mL/L ( i.e. 0.37 g/L).
