The present invention discloses that a plant essential oil, lemongrass oil, is an effective pre and post emergence herbicide on both broadleaved and grass weeds. The lemongrass oil may be combined with corn oil and/or other oil and/or an organic acid, surfactants and other formulation ingredients to control the germination and growth of weeds. As a natural, non-toxic compound, it can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in organic farming systems.

La présente invention décrit une huile essentielle végétale, l'huile de citronnelle, qui est un herbicide de pré- et post-émergence efficace à la fois sur les dicotylédones et les graminées. L'huile de citronnelle peut être combinée avec de l'huile de maïs et/ou toute autre huile et/ou un acide organique, des tensioactifs et autres ingrédients de formulation pour lutter contre la germination et la croissance des mauvaises herbes. A titre de composé naturel, non toxique, elle peut offrir une alternative inoffensive pour le désherbage dans les pratiques culturales organiques.
