The use of botanical compounds is a potentially effective alternative for pest control. The effect of formulations of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eucalyptus globulus</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jatropha curcas</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Petiveria alliacea</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ricinus communis</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ruta graveolens</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, (A) at concentrations of 5%, 10% and 15% (B) on mortality, food inhibition and weight of larvae of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">S</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">frugiperda</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was evaluated. Using second and third instar larvae, spray and choice bioassays were performed using a factorial design AxB + 3 controls [chemical insecticide (cypermethrin), commercial botanical (azadirachtin) and absolute control (water)]. Of the botanical compounds, mortality was higher when </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">J</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">curcas</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> oil (33.7%) and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">P</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">alliacea</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> hydrolate (26.2%) were applied at. 15 mL.L</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">-1</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
