The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved this substance for use in food.
No risks to humans or the environment are expected when pesticide products containing Nonanoic Acid are used according to the label directions.

Preparation, occurrence, and uses
Nonanoic Acid occurs naturally as esters in the oil of pelargonium.
Together with azelaic acid, Nonanoic Acid is produced industrially by ozonolysis of oleic acid.
H17C8CH=CHC7H14CO2H + 4O → HO2CC7H14CO2H + H17C8CO2H

The ammonium salt of Nonanoic Acid , ammonium pelargonate, is a herbicide.
Nonanoic Acid is commonly used in conjunction with glyphosate, a non-selective herbicide, for a quick burn-down effect in the control of weeds in turfgrass.

Pharmacological effects
Nonanoic Acid may be more potent than valproic acid in treating seizures.
Moreover, in contrast to valproic acid, Nonanoic Acid exhibited no effect on HDAC inhibition, suggesting that Nonanoic Acid is unlikely to show HDAC inhibition-related teratogenicity.

Pelazgonic acid is a chemical substance that is found in almost all species of animals and plants.
Because Nonanoic Acid contains nine carbon atoms, Nonanoic Acid is also called Pelargonic acid.
Nonanoic Acid is found at low levels in many of the common foods we eat.
Nonanoic Acid is readily broken down in the environment.

Use areas,
Nonanoic Acid has two distinct uses related to plants: weed killer and blossom thinner.

Weedkiller
Growers spray Nonanoic Acid on food crops and other crops to protect them against weeds.
For food crops, Nonanoic Acid is allowed to be applied from planting time until 24 hours before harvest.
The pre-harvest restriction assures that little or no residue remains on the food.
The chemical also controls weeds at sites such as schools, golf courses, walkways, greenhouses, and various indoor sites.

Blossom thinner
Growers use Nonanoic Acid to thin blossoms, a procedure that increases the quality and yield of apples and other fruit trees.
Thinning the blossoms allows the trees to produce fruNonanoic Acid every year instead of every other year.

Nonanoic Acid is a naturally occurring, saturated, nine-carbon fatty acid (C9:0).
Nonanoic Acid occurs widely in nature in products such as goat's milk, apples and grapes.
Nonanoic Acid has a benign environmental profile.
As a herbicide, Nonanoic Acid causes extremely rapid and non-selective burn-down of green tissues.
The rate of kill is related to temperature, but under all but the coolest conditions, the treated plants begin to exhibNonanoic Acid damage within 15-60 minutes and begin to collapse within 1-3 hours of the application.

Nonanoic Acid is not systemic and is not translocated through woody tissues.
Nonanoic Acid is also active against mosses and other cryptograms.
Nonanoic Acid has no soil activity.
As with most burn-down herbicides, Nonanoic Acid does not prevent re-growth from protected buds or basal meristems. ,
Many annual herbaceous weeds can be killed completely while larger weeds, grasses and woody plants may re-grow.

There are many practical applications of the rapid burn-down activity of Nonanoic Acid.
Nonanoic Acid can be used for spot weeding, edging, lining, turf renewal, chemical pruning and suckering.
Nonanoic Acid is particularly useful as a directed spray for killing annual weeds in container-grown woody ornamentals, under greenhouse benches and in other places where systemic herbicides can cause unwanted damage.

If the spray of Nonanoic Acid does come in contact with some desired plants, the damage is strictly limited to those leaves which are actually sprayed.
Nonanoic Acid should be applied in at least 75 gallons/acre of total spray volume as activity declines at lower gallonages.
Evidence from P31 NMR studies suggests that the mode of action of Nonanoic Acid is not based on direct damage to cell membranes.

Nonanoic Acid moves through the cuticle and cell membranes and lowers the internal pH of the plant cells.
Over the next several minutes the pools of cellular ATP and Glucose-6-phosphate decline.
Only later is there evidence of membrane dysfunction which eventually leads to cell leakage, collapse and desiccation of the tissue.

This chain of cellular events appears to allow Nonanoic Acid to synergize the activity of certain systemic herbicides such as glyphosate.
In general, bum-down herbicides are antagonistic to the activity of systemic herbicides, but in a tank mix Nonanoic Acid has been shown to allow greater and more rapid uptake of glyphosate without interfering with translocation.

This type of synergy is completely distinct from the enhancement seen with various surfactants used as adjuvants or formulation components for glyphosate.
By using high volume applications of a tank mix Nonanoic Acid is possible to combine the rapid kill of Nonanoic Acid with the systemic action of glyphosate.
At low application volumes (e.g. 20-30 GPA), Nonanoic Acid still enhances glyphosate uptake and improves its overall performance, but there is no immediate burn of the treated foliage.

Nonanoic Acid is a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid with nine carbon atoms.
The ammonium salt form of Nonanoic Acid is used as a herbicide.
Nonanoic Acid works by stripping the waxy cuticle of the plant, causing cell disruption, cell leakage, and death by desiccation.

Nonanoic Acid's production and use in organic syntheses, lacquers, plastics, in the production of hydrotropic salts, pharmaceuticals, synthetic flavors and odors, esters for turbojet lubricants, as a flotation agent, vinyl plasticizer, and as a gasoline additive may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams.

Its use as a herbicide will result in its direct release to the environment.
Nonanoic Acid is a fatty acid and occurs naturally in many essential oils.
Fatty acids are widely distributed in nature as components of animal and vegetable fats and are an important part of the normal daily diet of mammals, birds and invertebrates.

If released to air, a vapour pressure of 1.65X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates Nonanoic Acid will exist solely as a vapour in the atmosphere.
Vapour-phase Nonanoic Acid will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 1.6 days.
If released to soil, undissociated Nonanoic Acid is expected to have low mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 1,700 for the free acid.

The pKa of Nonanoic Acid is 4.95, indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts.
Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon the pKa.

Biodegradation studies of Nonanoic Acid show a total organic carbon removal ratio of 99% using a non-acclimated activated sludge and a BOD of 0.59 (g/g) after 5 days of incubation using a sewage inoculum, suggesting biodegradation is an important environmental fate in soil and water.

If released into water, undissociated Nonanoic Acid is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc for the free acid.
The pKa indicates Nonanoic Acid will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process.

Nonanoic Acid was identified as a volatile constituent of the kiwi fruNonanoic Acid flower and of raw earth-almond (Cyperus esculentus L.).
Nonanoic Acid was found in fine particulate matter released (by resuspension and agitation of the leaf composites) from green and dead plant leaves at concentrations of 444.7 and 596.8 ug/g, respectively.

The compound is a carboxylic acid that is also known as a fatty acid because fatty acids were first isolated by the hydrolysis of naturally occurring fats.
Fatty acids are widely distributed in nature as components of animal and vegetable fats including lipids such as oils and fats, waxes, sterol esters and other minor compounds.

Pelargonic acid (nonanoic acid) is a monocarboxylic acid. The product appears as a transparent and colourless liquid, and is available in different purity grades.
Nonanoic Acid, thanks to its favourable ecotoxicological profile, is used in the formulations of new herbicides, replacing existing synthetic ones.

The non persistence and ultimate biodegradability of natural Nonanoic Acid herbicides means that their impact on the environment is minimal.
They do not interfere with biodiversity and have no residual effects and can be used for soil cleaning even immediately before sowing or transplanting.

Nonanoic Acid is also used in cleaning products as a precursor to peroxynonanoic acid.
Peroxycarboxylic acids are known for their antimicrobial activity (sanitisation, disinfection and sterilisation) and as bleaching agents.
Nonanoic Acid has thus found a further destination in industrial detergents, water treatments and the control of microbial activity in public spaces.

Formulations containing Nonanoic Acid have been used in indoor and outdoor weed control and as cleansing and emulsifying agents in cosmetics.

Nonanoic Acid is ideal as a standard and for biological studies.
Odd-numbered fatty acids occur in small amounts in mammals but are found in much larger amounts in bacteria and in some plants (especially in pelargonium) and lower animals.
Due to difficulties in their identification the properties and functions of odd-numbered fatty acids have not been fully studied, but with better analytical techniques and high purity standards, they are now gaining more prevalence in research.

Odd-numbered fatty acids are found in small amounts acylated to various sphingolipids where they have unique properties and functions.
Microbial fatty acid profiles, which often contain significant amounts of odd-numbered fatty acids, are unique from one species to another and can therefore be used in the determination of bacterial identity.

Nonanoic Acid and its esters are used as herbacides (both as the free acid and as ammonium nonanoate), flavourings, and in the biosynthesizing of polyhydroxyalkenoates.
Nonanoic Acid has been found to be a fungal self inhibitor of Rhizopus oligosporus.
