Toxicity of the essential oils from Piper hispidinervum C. DC. and Piper callosum Ruiz Pav. to cupuassu fruit borer Conotrachelus sp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

The genus Piper has various plants species with insecticide potential, for example Piper hispidinervum C. DC. and Piper callosum Ruiz & Pav. One way for to comprove the insecticide activity of plants is to test the application of its essential oil and to verify the insect mortality. The target-insect used in experiments was the curculio Conotrachelus sp. This insect is considered a pest in the cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) tillage. Therefore, the aim with this work was evaluated the toxicity of the essential oils from P. hispidinervum and P. callosum to the cupuassu fruit borer Conotrachelus sp.
