- Association Weevil mortality depended on exposure day, dust type, concentration, temperature, and humidity.
- Intervention effect A dust concentration of 10 g/m 2 effectively controlled bean weevils.
- Association Corrected weevil mortality was higher at 25 °C than at 20 °C.
- Intervention effect Fir wood ash controlled bean weevils as effectively as SilicoSec®.
- Intervention effect Norway spruce wood ash controlled bean weevils as effectively as SilicoSec®.
- Intervention effect Slovenian diatomaceous earth controlled bean weevils as effectively as SilicoSec®.
- Observation SilicoSec® caused 100% weevil mortality after four days.
