In an agricultural chemicals composition which is scattered by being thrown directly into a submerged paddy field, it is an object to provide a composition having an excellent spreadability without stagnation of an agrochemically active ingredient at the point of treatment (application), and in particular to provide a labor-saving formulation for scattering (application) which contains a liquid agrochemically active ingredient at room temperature, and to provide an agricultural chemicals composition containing a liquid agrochemically active ingredient at room temperature in high concentrations, which have been difficult to be realized. The agricultural chemicals composition prepared by letting a granular nucleus coated with a water-soluble polymer or water-swellable substance hold agrochemically active ingredients and, if necessary, surfactants, and a method of scattering (applying) a granular agricultural chemicals formulation comprising the step of throwing the agricultural composition directly into a submerged paddy field at a rate of 20 g to 2,000 g thereof per 10 are of the paddy field, or packing 10 g to 100 g of the agricultural chemicals composition per bag made of a water-soluble film and throwing directly into a paddy field at a rate of 2 to 20 bags per 10 are.

Agricultural chemicals composition, preparation thereof and the method for scattering the same

In an agricultural chemicals formulation which is scattered by being thrown directly into a paddy field filled with water, it is an object to provide a composition having an excellent spreadability without stagnation of an agrochemically active ingredient at the point of throwing, and in particular to provide a labor-saving formulation for scattering (application) which contains a liquid agrochemically active ingredient at room temperature, and to provide an agricultural chemicals formulation containing a liquid agrochemically active ingredient at room temperature in high concentrations, which have been difficult to be realized. The agricultural chemicals formulation for a rice paddy field is produced by preparing a granular composition in a manner that a mixture of a liquid agrochemically active ingredient at room temperature, a surfactant, and a substance exhibiting a thickening function or a gelation function in the water, is held and carried by a granular nucleus, and packing it with a water-soluble film. The present invention also provides a method of scattering (applying) the agrochemically active ingredient, which is characterized by that the agricultural chemicals formulation is directly thrown into a paddy field filled with water at a rate of 2 to 20 bags per 10 a.
