Disclosed is a chemically stabilized herbicidal oil-based suspension, comprising N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl) aminocarbonyl-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide (nicosufluron) and/or its salt as an effective herbicidal component, urea, a vegetable oil and/or mineral oil, a surfactant and, as desired, an additional herbicidal component, a thickener, a solvent and other adjuvants. The present invention is characterized in that urea is added to a herbicidal oil-based suspension to suppress decomposition of the effective herbicidal component and to provide a chemically stabilized herbicidal oil-based suspension.
