The present invention generally relates to non-aqueous solutions of plant growth regulator(s) and polar and/or semi-polar organic solvent(s), methods for making said non-aqueous solution, and methods for improving the growth and crop productivity of plants using said non-aqueous solution.

The present application describes formulations of clomazone having unexpected reduced volatility in a non-encapsulated emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation. The discovery that the volatility of clomazone can be reduced in a non-encapsulated formulation by the addition of certain second active compounds is surprising, and can provide the benefit of faster delivery of clomazone to treated crops, while reducing the damage to neighboring vegetation as a result of clomazone volatility.

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.
