An environmentally compatible herbicidal composition comprises a fatty acid active ingredient, an oil component and an emulsifier component. The composition is a foliar applied herbicide which effectively controls a variety of unwanted weed and grass species. The fatty acid component of the herbicidal composition comprises pelargonic acid which may be used alone or as the predominant component of a mixture of fatty acids including caprylic, pelargonic, capric, undecanoic, and lauric acids. The oil component comprises a triglyceride (e.g., various vegetable oils), a terpenoid-based oil or a paraffinic mineral oil. The emulsifier component comprises one or more anionic or non-ionic emulsifiers.
