Green Argiculture

Pelargonic acid is a very promising, biological herbicide that will be tested within Grace Project.
The advantage of pelargonic acid compared to other conventional herbicides is the much better enviromental profile and avoidance of any safety risks for humans and animals.

In GRACE, Novamont further developed the formulation of the bioherbicide product containing pelargonic acid, including testing hemp oil as adjuvant. By this optimization, the efficacy of the product could be improved and the resulting product is meanwhile very close to commercialisation.
