      <abstract><![CDATA[The increasing resistance of pests to conventional pesticides, coupled with their high cost and associated health risks, has led to a growing demand for natural alternatives. This study investigated the efficacy of linalool, a natural monoterpene, in managing the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, on stored maize grains. The effects of linalool on adult mortality, F1 progeny, weight loss, and damage to maize grain were assessed under ambient laboratory conditions for three different dosages (50, 100, and 150  L), compared to the established pesticide, Betallic, at a dose of 30  L, and a control of untreated grain. Linalool significantly reduced the number of F1 progeny and caused 47% mortality in adults at the highest dose of 150  L, demonstrating its potential as a natural alternative to conventional pesticides. Although the protection provided by linalool at 150  L was not comparable to that of Betallic, these results indicate the potential of linalool as an eco-friendly alternative for pest management, contributing to a more sustainable future for agriculture.
