The fatty acid derivatives of formula (I) can be used as herbicides: wherein: R 1 is an aliphatic group containing 1-17 carbon atoms, which is linear, branched, saturated or unsaturated; R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 independently is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, or hydroxymethyl; m, n, and p are numbers 0-17, provided that m+n+p≥1, and m+n+p<18, where different monomers can be are arranged in statistical order, alternately or as block copolymers, and m, n and p may be a statistical mixture; X is independently a covalent bond or a hydroxymethylene group; R 8 contains 1-10 Aliphatic groups of carbon atoms which are linear, branched, cyclic, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or substituted or unsubstituted benzyl. |
