When offered milkweed‐treated and control baits, wireworms fed almost exclusively on untreated food. In ‘no‐choice’ tests, there was a significantly lower frequency of damage to treated baits than control baits. Extended exposure of wireworms to the extract did not affect their survival, feeding vigor, or preference in subsequent feeding tests. Seed corn treated with crude extract exhibited slight phytotoxicity in the form of delayed germination and depressed growth rates.}, number={1}, journal={ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA}, author={VILLANI, M and GOULD, F}, year={1985}, pages={95–100} }

In a “no-choice” test design, with the three most effective extracts, there was a significantly lower frequency of damage to treated baits compared to control baits.}, number={5}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY}, author={VILLANI, MG and MEINKE, LJ and GOULD, F}, year={1985}, pages={617–619} }

(Coleoptera: Elateridae). Five extracts from four families significantly reduced wireworm feeding damage in a series of ‘choice’ feeding tests. Two extracts, Asclepias tuberosa and Hedera helix, exhibited exceptional levels of feeding deterrency. An x‐ray technique 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.}, number={1}, journal={ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA}, author={VILLANI, M and GOULD, F}, year={1985}, pages={69–75} }
