Stabilized liquid agrochemical compositions are provided which comprise flowable non-aqueous dispersion concentrates comprising a continuous substantially water-miscible liquid phase, a dispersed water-immiscible liquid phase, and a colloidal solid. In one embodiment, the dispersed phase comprises at least one water-sensitive agrochemically active ingredient and the colloidal solid is disposed at the interface between the dispersed phase and the continuous phase. In another embodiment, the water-sensitive agrochemically active ingredient is a solid but is dissolved in an oily liquid present in the dispersed phase, or is a solid and is dispersed within the dispersed phase, or is a solid complex of an agrochemical with a molecular complexing agent and is dispersed within the dispersed phase. The compositions of the invention can be used directly or with dilution to combat pests or as plant growth regulators. Se proporciona composiciones agrícolas, líquidas, estabilizadas que comprenden concentrados de dispersión, no acuosos, fluidos que comprenden una fase líquida, sustancialmente miscible en agua, continua, una fase líquida inmiscible en agua, dispersada, y un sólido coloidal. En una modalidad, la fase dispersada comprende al menos un ingrediente agroquímicamente activo, sensible a agua y el sólido coloidal se coloca en la entrecara entre la fase dispersada y la fase continua. En otra modalidad, el ingrediente agroquímicamente activo sensible a agua es un sólido pero se disuelve en un líquido aceitoso presente en la fase dispersada, o es un sólido y se dispersa dentro de la fase dispersada, o es un complejo sólido de un agroquímico con un agente formador de complejos moleculares y se dispersa dentro de la fase dispersada. Las composiciones de la invención se pueden usar directamente o con dilución para compartir plagas o como reguladores de crecimiento vegetal.
