The present disclosure provides a method for treating rice. The method comprises the steps of: providing a domestic rice crop plant and at least one ACCase-inhibiting cyclohexanedione herbicide selected from the group consisting of cycloxydim, sethoxydim, tralkoxydim, and clethodim; applying an effective amount (measured in g AI/Ha) of the at least one cyclohexanedione herbicide to the domestic rice crop plant, post-emergence; thereby creating a treated rice plant; and growing the resulting treated rice plant.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of pesticides, and particularly relates to an herbicidal composition comprising R-pyridyloxycarboxylic acid and derivative and an application thereof. The composition comprises an active ingredient A and an active ingredient B in an herbicidally effective amount, wherein, the active ingredient A is one or more compounds selected from an R-pyridyloxycarboxylic acid represented by formula I and salt, ester derivative thereof,

##STR00001## wherein, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 each independently represent halogen, C1-C6 alkyl, halo C1-C6 alkyl or C3-C6 cycloalkyl; R.sub.3 represents hydrogen, halogen, C1-C6 alkyl or halo C1-C6 alkyl; Q represents C1-C6 alkyl, etc.; Y represents amino, etc.; the active ingredient B is selected from the following one or more compounds or acid or salt or ester derivatives thereof, ALS inhibitor, ACCase inhibitor, PSII inhibitor, HPPD inhibitor, PDS inhibitor, DOXP inhibitor, PPO inhibitor, Synthetic hormone, EPSPS inhibitor, GS inhibitor, PSI inhibitor. The composition is capable of effectively controlling various weeds, and has the following advantages: exhibiting a broad spectrum of weed control, being used in a reduced dose, and being capable of bringing about a synergistic effect and removing resistant weeds.
