N2  - The composition of hexane leaf extract of Ricinus communis was determined by gas chromatography?|mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to contain four fatty acids: linolenic acid (47.76%), linoleic acid (15.28%),|palmitic acid (13.01%), and stearic acid (1.73%). The insectistatic and insecticidal activities of the two|major components, linolenic acid and linoleic acid, on the larval development of Spodoptera frugiperda|were assessed. The larval viability fifty (LV50) values of linolenic acid and linoleic acid were 0.849 × 103|ppm and 0.857 × 103 ppm, respectively. Thus, both fatty acids evaluated were found to have the|insectistatic and insecticidal activities against S. frugiperda
