Let $K $ be a nonic number field generated by a complex root $\th$ of a monic irreducible trinomial $ F(x)= x^9+ax+b \in \Z[x]$, where $ab \neq 0$. Let $i(K)$ be the index of $K$. A rational prime $p$ dividing $ i(K)$ is called a prime common index divisor of $K$. In this paper, for every rational prime $p$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions depending only $a$ and $b$ for which $p$ is a common index divisor of $K$. As application of our results we identify infinite parametric families of non-monogenic nonic numbers fields defined by such trinomials. At the end, some numerical examples illustrating our theoretical results are given.
