Chemical Mechanisms & Reaction Pathways

Pelargonic acid functions as a natural fatty acid herbicide, disrupting cell membranes through lipid dissolution and causing rapid desiccation of plant tissues via membrane permeabilization and water loss.

Membrane Disruption

Dissolves lipid components of cell membranes

Causes immediate membrane permeabilization
Fatty Acid Action

Natural C9 fatty acid disrupts membrane integrity

Interferes with membrane stability
Rapid Desiccation

Causes immediate water loss from plant tissues

Results in rapid necrosis and death
Contact Activity

Provides immediate burn-down effect

Excellent post-emergence control
