BUTTERFLY MILKWEED EXTRACT AS A FEEDING DETERRENT OF THE WIREWORM, MELANOTUS-COMMUNIS

ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA, 37(1), 95–100.

By: M. Villani n & F. Gould  n

TL;DR: Extended exposure of wireworms to the extract did not affect their survival, feeding vigor, or preference in subsequent feeding tests, and in ‘no‐choice’ tests, there was a significantly lower frequency of damage to treated baits than control baits. (via Semantic Scholar)

LABORATORY BIOASSAY OF CRUDE EXTRACTS AS ANTI-FEEDANTS FOR THE SOUTHERN CORN-ROOTWORM (COLEOPTERA, CHRYSOMELIDAE)

By: M. Villani n, L. Meinke  n & F. Gould  n

TL;DR: Crude extracts of five plant species which in previous experiments significantly limited corn wireworm, Melanotus communis Gyllenhal, feeding damage were tested for deterrence of the southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber. (via Semantic Scholar)

SCREENING OF CRUDE PLANT-EXTRACTS AS FEEDING DETERRENTS OF THE WIREWORM, MELANOTUS-COMMUNIS

ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA, 37(1), 69–75.

By: M. Villani n & F. Gould  n

TL;DR: Five extracts from four families significantly reduced wireworm feeding damage in a series of ‘choice’ feeding tests, and it was indicated that wireworms burrowed indiscriminately between soil containing either of these extracts and surrounding untreated soil, but were found more frequently in the untreated areas.
