Abstract
Stable herbicide solutions of propanil having no or little tendency to precipitate or crystallize propanil from the solution even upon storage in a cold place are prepared by dissolving the propanil in (a) a solvent of the glycol ether-type having a solubility of not more than 5% by weight in water at 20.degree. C. and (b) dimethylsulfoxide or (c) N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and wherein propanil is present in an amount of 20 to 45% by weight, the glycol ether-type solvent is present in an amount of 35 to 85% by weight, and the dimethylsulfoxide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is present in an amount of 1 to 20% by weight, on the basis of the total weight of the composition.
