Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an agrochemical granular composition. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the application of pesticides to seedling boxes has become more common for paddy field pesticides, and granules are the main formulation used. There are three types of pesticide granules known in general: extrusion type granules, adsorption type granules, and coated type granules. Extrusion-type granules are generally prepared by mixing the pesticide active ingredient with mineral fine powders and the like thoroughly beforehand, pulverizing as necessary, then adding water and a binder, kneading, extruding through a certain mesh, and drying. Adsorption-type granules are generally prepared by using oil-absorbent granular mineral matter with a predetermined particle size distribution as a carrier, and mixing liquid pesticide active ingredients or solid or semi-solid pesticide active ingredients dissolved in a solvent to absorb them. Coating-type granules are generally prepared by using oil-absorbent granular mineral matter with a predetermined particle size distribution as a carrier, and mixing adhesive and pesticide active ingredients, or mineral fine powders and the like as necessary, to coat the surface of the carrier. When water is used as the adhesive, it is usually mixed and coated, and then dried. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] However, after granulation, the binder or adhesive may cause the material to form aggregates during storage, which may reduce its spreadability and prevent the desired biological effect from being achieved. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] As a result of extensive investigations, the present inventors have found a granular pesticide composition containing phenmezodithiaz which has good applicability, and have completed the present invention.

[0006] That is, the present invention provides the following pesticide granular composition. 1. A pesticide granular composition comprising phenmezodithiaz. 2. The pesticide granular composition of 1, comprising a binder and an inert carrier. 3. The pesticide granular composition of 2, wherein the granular composition is an extruded granule. 4. The pesticide granular composition of 1, in which a powder composition containing phenmezodithiaz is attached to the surface of a granular carrier via an adhesive. 5. The pesticide granular composition of 4, wherein the adhesive is a thermoplastic resin or polymer. 6. The pesticide granular composition of 4 or 5, wherein the granular carrier is silica sand.
