The present invention relates to various pesticidal compositions including non-water-continuous herbicidal dispersion compositions and processes for preparing these compositions. The present invention further relates to herbicidal application mixtures including water continuous dispersion compositions, processes for preparing these application mixtures, and various methods of use. Further, the present invention relates to various herbicidal compositions having improved application properties.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling weeds while reducing harm to a beneficial plant caused by a herbicidal ingredient by applying a safener composition containing picarbutrazox and the herbicidal ingredient or by applying the herbicidal ingredient while applying picarbutrazox, during the cultivation of the beneficial plant such as lawn grass, wheat, maize, rapeseed, rice, and soybean.

Herbicide-adjuvant composition compositions for controlling weed plants are disclosed. A herbicide-adjuvant composition includes a phenoxy-based herbicide and a petroleum-based adjuvant. The petroleum-based adjuvant may include a mixture of alicyclic hydrocarbons ranging from C17 to C29 and a hydro-treated heavy naphthenic distillate. The herbicide-adjuvant composition may include a viscosity modifier. Also disclosed are granules coated in a herbicide-adjuvant composition. The granule may be a fertilizer granule or a carrier granule. A method of controlling a weed plant including spreading a plurality of granules coated with a herbicide-adjuvant composition on the weed plant. The phenoxy-based herbicide and the petroleum-based adjuvant are spread on the weed plant in a single step.

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 aryloxyphenoxypropanoate herbicide selected from the group consisting of quizalofop or an ester thereof, haloxyfop, fluazifop or an ester thereof, clodinafop, clodinafop-propargyl, diclofop, and diclofop-methyl; applying an effective amount (measured in g AI/Ha) of the at least one aryloxyphenoxypropanoate herbicide to the domestic rice crop plant, post-emergence; thereby creating a treated rice plant; and growing the resulting treated rice plant.
