The toxicity of AITC was determined by applying lethal concentrations (LC) of the compound, whereas the mortality curves were drawn by utilizing increasing concentrations of AITC (from 5.0 to 13.33 mL m3 of grains). Population development was assessed through oviposition, progeny and both daily and accumulated emergence at sublethal concentrations (LC1 ¼ 3.81 mL m3 , LC 10 ¼ 5.71 mL m3 , LC 30 ¼ 7.67 mL m3 , and LC 50 ¼ 9.41 mL m3). Furthermore, the loss of dry mass in grains and the respiration rate of adults when exposed to AITC (LC1, LC10, LC30, and LC50) were withal appraised. The values of LC 50 and LC 95 to adults of C. maculatus were of 9.41 and 17.85 mL m3 of grains, respectively. At sublethal concentrations of AITC, the respiration oviposition, and emergence rates declined. The fumigant agent also prevented mass loss in cowpea beans. On account of that, it is safe to say that the compound has significant potential for controlling C. maculatus, inhibiting its development in storage conditions  aCallosobruchus Maculatus  aVigna Unguiculata  aBioinseticida1 aFARONI, L.
