Following the first generation of natural herbicide products based on pelargonic acid as an active ingredient, a number of new herbicides and blossom thinners based on C9:0 saturated fatty acid entered the marketplace in many countries, offering a long‐awaited safer alternative to synthetic chemical herbicides. This study addresses key production and bioeconomy aspects prior to the expected widespread adoption of n ‐nonanoic acid as an alternative ingredient of new biobased herbicides, derived from the fatty acid first isolated from the leaves of Pelargoniun roseum . © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
