Pelargonic fatty acid are non-selective herbicides from modified plant oils and are OMRI certified. OMRI is the Organic Materials Review Institute which determines approval for organic uses. https://www.omri.org.
Pelargonic Fatty Acid Facts:
- They function fast by burning and drying out leaf and stem surfaces on green plants.
- They do not penetrate or harm woody portions of plants.
- These products are quite rain fast, may act as surfactants at very low rates for other systemic herbicides.
- By themselves they are do not translocate in plants and are locked tightly in soils.
- Replanting can occur quickly into soils on sites where they are used.
