DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
Many pesticides including anthranilamide type compounds have characteristic spectrums and effects respectively, but have some problems that the effects are sometimes inadequate to certain pests, that their residual activities are sometimes poor and the effects are not satisfactorily maintained for a certain period of time, and that adequate pesticidal effects cannot be practically achieved. Therefore, it has been desired to improve the controlling effects by a formulation method.
Means of Solving the Problems
The present inventors have conducted various studies to solve the above problems, and as a result found that the controlling effects against pests are remarkably improved by dissolving an anthranilamide compound with a dispersant in a hydrophilic organic solvent and diluted with water, followed by applying it. Thus, the present invention has been accomplished. The composition of the present invention is a concentrated composition wherein an anthranilamide compound and a dispersant are dissolved in a hydrophilic organic solvent, and when the composition is diluted with water, the anthranilamide compound uniformly precipitates as fine solid particles in water, whereby a suspended spray liquid can be easily prepared.
