Resumen:
orn weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, is a primary pest of stored grain causing significant quantitative and qualitativeloss worldwide; its control mainly depends on synthetic insecticides such as organophosphates and pyrethroids. Several organiccompounds derived from plant such as ketones represent “green” alternatives to conventional pesticides. e aim of this studywas to develop a bioactive silo bag with natural formulation consisting of plant-based ketones (binary mixture of thymoquinoneand pulegone 1:1 mass ratio) in its inner layer (LDPE) to compare the efficiency of the process and relationship with thephysicochemical properties of the molecules. us, we evaluated their optical, chemical, mechanical and biological properties. Nodifferences in the morphology between the active and control silo bags were found. e repellent and insecticidal activities of thebioactive silo bag were tested against S. zeamais, primary pest of storage crops, showing a repel
