Damage to the environment, pest resistance, insecticides, and health hazards to producers have been observed due to the use of chemical products in stored grain pest control. In order to minimize these issues, alternatives with the use of botanical insecticides are being studied. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Baccharis dracunculifolia, Schinopsis brasiliensis, and Piptadenia colubrina in the form of hydrosol, as well as to assess the effect of Piptadenia colubrina and Varronia globosa species in powder form on Sitophilus zeamais in corn grains. Experiments were conducted using powder at the following concentrations: 2.0, 4.0, 10.0, and 20.0 mg g-1 of grains in 5 repetitions of each treatment and 20 insect adults. Mortality was assessed from 15 to 45 days. The effects of hydrosols were also evaluated, obtained through the hydrodistillation process in a Clevenger apparatus. For this experiment, a 4-way olfactometer was used to evaluate attractiveness and/or repellency. Finally, the powder derived from V. globosa caused mortality of up to 100% at 10.0 and 20.0 mg g-1 of grains, and P. colubrina caused the same effect at 2.0 and 4.0 mg g-1 of grains. The hydrosol of B. dracunculifolia and S. brasiliensis on S. zeamais, at a concentration of 10 µL (p<5%), caused a repellent effect, while P. colubrina caused an attractive effect.
