Abstract

Beans are the second most important crop in Mexico for human consumption. During storage, there have been losses of more than 35% due to the attack of weevils, for which chemical control represents the most common method. Great efforts have been made in the search for methods of natural control. This study aimed to evaluate, in three varieties of beans (Negro, Peruano and Flor de Mayo), the effect of the use of plant powders (Eucalyptus globulus and Tagetes erecta) with two drying methods (natural and freeze-drying) on the mortality of bean weevil (Zabrotes subfasciatus) and seed quality. Mortality was assessed at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. There were statistical differences between varieties and plant powders, but not for doses and drying methods. The highest cumulative mortality was observed with eucalyptus with 71.41%; in contrast, marigold reached 52.93%. The seed treated with powders reached 87% germination, while the control had 88%.
