“…Therefore, there is rapid necessity to find suitable approaches depending on bio-rational materials for control of stored-grain pests (Sukumar et al, 1991) that have rather safe , less persistence , cheap and ecofriendly (Magaji et al, 2005). Among of those material, Beauveria bassiana (Abdu-Allah et al, 2015;Batta and Kavallieratos, 2018) , Metarhizium anisopliae (Ozdemir et al, 2020;Iqbal et al, 2021) , ascorbic acid (Garg and Mahajan, 1994;Ahmad et al, 2013) , boric acid (Kausar et al, 2012;AS and Azher, 2020) , talc powder ( Ciobanu and Drosu, 2009;Alice and Srikanth, 2013) , kaolin (Kéita et al, 2001;Gad et al, 2022) , malathion 1% dust (Gharib, 2006;Zayed, 2012) . Re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the bio-rational materials against cowpea beetle adults compared with the recommended organophosphate insecticide, malathion 1% dust should be investigated.…”
