''Zabrotes subfasciatus'', the Mexican bean weevil, is a species of leaf beetle in the family 
1833), commonly known as the Mexican bean weevil, is one of the main pests of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) that affect seeds during storage (Morales et al., 2018). Weevils
lay the eggs on the seed coat and then larvae feed and grow inside, which results in serious affectations including hollow grains with reduced
nutritional quality and loss of viability. The economic impact caused by this insect pest has been reported to reach up to 35% production loss
(Rodriguez-Hernandez, 2001; Nava-Perez et al., 2010).
Several chemical control methods have been effectively tested against bruchids; however, the use of toxic pesticides in a product that is
about to be consumed represents a high risk, both for humans and the environment, which has evidenced the need for viable strategies to
control the bean weevil through less harmful options that improve food safety and are compatible with sustainable production systems (Valencia-Catano, ˜ 2006; Nava-Perez et al., 2010; Grossi-de-Sa ´ et al., 2015;Dastranj et al., 2016)
