This research was conducted in two series, the first carried out for 72 hours to observe the initial time of death, the daily mortality, Lethal time50, and total mortality, and the second after 5 weeks of infestation, which is observed is S. zeamais beetle population growth and shrinkage weight of corn by pests S. zeamais, using a completely randomized design (CRD), which consists of six treatments, with four replications thus obtained 24 experimental units. Each experimental unit infested as many as 10 animals         S. zeamais. The results showed that the dosage of flour betel vine forest at a dose of 8 g / 100 g of corn is the best dose to control S. zeamais with total mortality of 97.50%, the initial time of 5.50 hours of death, lethal time50 (LT50) during 21:00 hours. Keywords: S. zeamais M, betel fruit woods, corn]]>
