Claim:
1. A herbicidal pelargonic acid formulation, which is an oil-in-water emulsion, comprising: a) 30 to 60% by weight of component A selected from the group consisting of pelargonic acid and mixtures of aliphatic C b) 10 to 30% by weight of component B, wherein component B consists of one or more C6-C12-alkyl-C10-C22-alkanecarboxylic acid esters (B1) and one or more C1-C4-alkyl-C6-C18-alkanecarboxylic acid esters (B2), wherein said alkane carboxylic acid esters are organic solvents which under standard conditions have a water solubility of below 1 g/l and which have a boiling point of above 130° C. at standard pressure, and wherein component B is selected from the group consisting of C c) 1 to 20% by weight of component C, wherein component C consists of at least one surface-active substance selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula I in which n represents 0 or 1, R R d) 5 to 25% by weight of component D, wherein component D consists of at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of substances that include at least one poly-C e) 3 to 20% by weight of component E, wherein component E consists of at least one amino acid with an isoelectric point in the range of from 5 to 7, based on the total weight of the components A, B, C, D, and E other than water; and f) water.
