-(Inseticidal activity of Piper hispidum (Piperaceae) leaves extract on (Hypothenemus hampei)). The objective of this work was to evaluate the insecticidal and repellent potential of the acetonic leaf extract of Piper hispidum Kunth on Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari, 1867) insects by topical application, contaminated surface and repellent effect. Dilutions of 25.0; 5.0; 0.1; 0.02; 0.004 and 0.0008 mg mL -1 were used for exposition in contaminated surface and topical application. In the repellence test 0.5 mg mL -1 of this extract were used. Evaluations occurred during 48 hours after exposure to the extract. In the exposition in contaminated surface 100% of mortality were observed in the dilution of 25.0 mg mL -1 and 50 to 80% in dilutions of 5.0 to 0.004 mg mL -1 , while 0.0008 mg mL -1 and the control resulted in only 5% of mortality. In the topic application 60 to 65% of mortality were observed with dilutions of 25.0 to 0.1 mg mL -1 . Dilutions of 0.0008 to 0.2 mg mL -1 did not differ from the control. The repellence index was lower than the minimum value praised in literature to consider a substance as repellent. These results pointed out to the high potential of P. hispidum extract for the control of H. hampei.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o potencial inseticida do extrato acetônico das folhas de Piper hispidumKunth sobre Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari, 1867) em aplicação tópica, superfície contaminada e efeito de repelência. Adotou-se as diluições de 25,0; 5,0; 0,1; 0,02; 0,004 e 0,0008 mg mL -1 para exposição em superfície contaminada e aplicação tópica. No teste de repelência, utilizou-se a diluição 0,5 mg mL -1 do extrato. As avaliações foram realizadas nas 48 horas após a exposição ao extrato. Na exposição em superfície contaminada, obteve-se 100% de mortalidade, na diluição 25,0 mg mL -1 , e de 50 a 80% nas diluições 0,004 a 5,0 mg mL -1 , enquanto 0,0008 mg mL -1 e o controle resultaram em apenas 5% de mortalidade. Na aplicação tópica, atingiu-se 60 a 65% de mortalidade, com as diluições de 0,1 a 25,0 mg mL -1 . As diluições de 0,2 a 0,0008 mg mL -1 não diferiram do controle. Os índices de repelência foram inferiores ao valor mínimo preconizado na literatura para se considerar uma substância como repelente. Este estudo evidencia a atividade inseticida do extrato de folhas de P. hispidum sobre H. hampei, o que sugere seu potencial no controle deste inseto.Palavras-chave -Coffea arabica, inseticida natural, Piperaceae 1.
