A study was conducted to optimize the dosages of different edible oils against bean beetle. Initial results showed that edible oil is effective in controlling bean beetles damaging mungbean seeds. It was found that at 0.4-1.0% dosage, edible oils can protect the seeds from beetle infestation by inhibiting egg hatching, larval/pupal development and eventual adult emergence. In terms of cost effectiveness ratio, the edible oils can be ranked from low to high as follows: palm oil, coconut oil, canola oil and olive oil.
