ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the contact toxicity of essential oil of Croton pulegiodorus Baill on six populations of Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky. The S. zeamais populations used were from Crixás-GO, Espírito Santo do Pinhal-SP, Juiz de Fora-MG, Picos-PI, Serra Talhada-PE, and Vicentina-MS, Brazil, and present different susceptibility to synthetic insecticides. The essential oil of C. pulegiodorus used was obtained from plants collected in Triunfo-PE, Brazil. The lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC90), toxicity ratio of the essential oil, and the resistance ratio of the populations were estimated. The S. zeamais population from Serra Talhada-PE presented the lowest LC50 (4.21 μL 20 g-1) and LC90 (6.67 μL 20 g-1) and was the reference for susceptibility to the essential oil of C. pulegiodorus. The S. zeamais population from Espírito Santo do Pinhal-SP presented the highest LC50 (6.02 μL 20 g-1) and LC90 (10.55 μL 20 g-1) and was the reference for tolerance to the essential oil of C. pulegiodorus. The toxicity ratio ranged from 1.01 (Picos-PI) to 1.43 (Serra Talhada-PE); and the resistance ratio ranged from 1.13 (Crixás-GO) to 1.43 (Espírito Santo do Pinhal-SP). The essential oil of C. pulegiodorus reduced the emergence of adult S. zemais and showed residual effect, with contact toxicity, after 30 and 60 days of application. RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a toxicidade por contato do óleo essencial de Croton pulegiodorus Baill sobre seis populações de Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky. As populações de S. zeamais utilizadas apresentam diferentes padrões de susceptibilidade a inseticidas sintéticos e foram provenientes dos municípios de Crixás - GO, Espírito Santo do Pinhal - SP, Juiz de Fora - MG, Picos - PI, Serra Talhada - PE e Vicentina - MT. O óleo essencial foi obtido a partir de plantas coletadas no município de Triunfo - PE, sendo estimadas as concentrações letais (CL50 e CL90), as razões de toxicidade (RT) e as razões de resistência (RR) das populações. A população de Serra Talhada - PE apresentou as menores CL50 (4,21 μL/20g de milho) e CL90 (6,67 μL/20g de milho), sendo considerada padrão de susceptibilidade ao óleo essencial de C. pulegiodorus. Por outro lado, a população de Espírito Santo do Pinhal - SP apresentou as maiores CL50 (6,02 μL/20g de milho) e CL90 (10,55 μL/20g de milho), sendo considerada padrão de tolerância ao óleo. A razão de toxicidade (RT) variou de 1,01 vezes (Picos - PI) a 1,43 vezes (Ser
