- Intervention effect Rosemary oil was the second most toxic oil to wireworm larvae in fumigant bioassays (LD50 15.7 μg/cm), following citronellal.
- Intervention effect Thymol was less toxic than citronellal to wireworm larvae in fumigant bioassays (LD50 16.9 μg/cm³).
- Intervention effect Eugenol was the least toxic oil to wireworm larvae in fumigant bioassays (LD50 20.8 μg/cm³).

- Intervention effect Rosemary oil had only minimal phytotoxic effects on corn.
- Intervention effect Rosemary oil-treated seeds produced the highest number of distressed wireworms in greenhouse trials, compared with all other treatments.
- Intervention effect Thymol-treated corn seeds were the least damaged by wireworm feeding in greenhouse trials (90.7% undamaged) compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Thymol retarded corn seedling height compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Citronellal retarded corn seedling height compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Eugenol produced the lowest corn seed germination (25.3%).
- Intervention effect Citronellal had no negative impact on corn seed germination.
- Intervention effect Rosemary oil had no negative impact on corn seed germination.
- Intervention effect Thymol had no negative impact on corn seed germination.
