Compositions comprising diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether, an ethyleneglycol hydrocarbyl ether or its ester, and a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and nonionic primary, secondary and tertiary amines in a weight ratio relationship of, respectively, about 2:1:1; the compositions are particularly useful, in diluted form, for systemically (as well as by contact) retarding or inhibiting the growth of meristematic plant tissue, particularly tobacco suckers. |
