A formulation includes a water-soluble salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; and 2.5 wt % to 10 wt % of a carrier fluid based on a total weight of the formulation. The carrier fluid includes 0.5 wt % to 5 wt % of solvent based on a total weight of the formulation, wherein the solvent is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol mono butyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether and combinations thereof; and 0.5 wt % to 5 wt % of a polyalkylene glycol monoalkyl ether surfactant based on a total weight of the formulation.

A method for stimulating an induced insect resistance of rice is provided, which is effective to rice planthoppers, including Nilaparvata lugens, Sogatella furcifera, and Laodelphax striatellus. The present invention increases the resistance of the rice against rice planthoppers through p-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid, thereby decreasing damages of the rice planthoppers to the rice. Through applying the p-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid having a certain concentration to the rice, the rice generates the induced resistance against the rice planthoppers, which obviously decreases a survival rate of nymphs of the rice planthoppers.
