The water dispersible granule of the present invention contains (a) a pesticidal active ingredient which is solid at room temperature, (b) an anionic surface active agent, and (c) a kaolin series clay having a volume median diameter of 2 .mu.m or more, and it exhibits a good disintegrability-in-water and a high dispersion stability.

Water dispersible granules

An emulsifiable concentrate for weed control, which comprises 10 to 40 parts by weight of N'-[4-(4-methylphenethyloxy)phenyl]-N-methoxy-N-methylurea, 5 to 20 parts by weight of an emulsifier, 5 to 35 parts by weight of at least one of phenolic solvents of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen or methyl, and 5 to 80 parts by weight of at least one of aromatic hydrocarbon solvents having 6 to 11 carbon atoms.

Emulsifiable concentrate for weed control

An emulsifiable concentrate for weed control, which comprises 10 to 20 parts by weight of N'-[4-(4-methylphenethyloxy)phenyl]-N-methoxy-N-methylurea, 5 to 15 parts by weight of an emulsifier, 10 to 70 parts by weight of at least one of aromatic hydrocarbon solvents of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are each hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and 15 to 75 parts by weight of at least one of ketonic solvents having not more than 9 carbon atoms, of which the water solubility is not more than 10% by weight at room temperature.
