Abstract: 1. An agrotechnical formulation comprising, in each case based on the total weight of the formulation, a) 20 to 99.98 by weight of at least one cyclohexanepolycarboxylic ester of the formula I in which R<1> is C1-C10-alkyl or C3-C8-cycloalkyl; m is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and n is 2, 3 or 4; and R is H or C1-C30-alkyl, where at least one radical R is C1-C30-alkyl; b) 0 to 70% by weight of water; c) 0.1 to 60% by weight of at least one adjuvant and/or additive; and d) 2 to 70% by weight of at least one active ingredient for plant treatment, with the proviso that products obtainable by reacting an oil or fat based on a triglyceride of carboxylic acids having 2 to 30 carbon atoms with ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide in the presence of bases are not present in the formulation. 2. An agrotechnical formulation comprising, in each case based on the total weight of the formulation, a) 20 to 99.9% by weight of at least one cyclohexanepolycarboxylic ester of the formula I in which R<1> is C1-C10-alkyl or C3-C8-cycloalkyl; m is 0, 1, 2 or 3; n is 2, 3 or 4; and R is H or C1-C30-alkyl, where at least one radical R is C1-C30-alkyl; b) 0 to 70% by weight of water; c) 0.1 to 60% by weight of at least one adjuvant and/or additive, where non-ionic surfactants are selected from among glycerol esters, fatty alcohol alkoxylates and oxo-alcohol alkoxylates, alkylphenolalkoxylates; fatty aminealkoxylates, fatty acid amide alkoxylates, sugar surfactants, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, alkyl polyglycasides, N-alkylgluconamides, alkylmethyl sulfoxides and alkyldimethylphosphine oxides; and d) 2 to 70% by weight of at least one active ingredient for plant treatment. 3. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 or 2, comprising 16 to 70% by weight of water. 4. A formulation as claimed in any of claims 1 to 3, where the cyclohexanepolycarboxylic ester is selected from among ring-hydrogenated mono- and di-C1-C30-alkyl esters of phthalic acid, isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid, ring-hydrogenated mono-, di- and tri-C1-C30-alkyl esters of trimellitic acid, trimesic acid and hemimellitic acid, and ring-hydrogenated mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-C1-C30-alkyl esters of pyromellitic acid. 5. A formulation as claimed in claim 4, where the cyclahexanepolycarboxylic ester is selected from among: Di(isopentyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating di(isopentyl)phthalate with the Chemical Abstracts Registry Number (hereinbelow: CAS No.) 84777-06-0; Di(isoheptyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating di(isoheptyl)phthalate with the CAS No. 71888-89-6; Di(isononyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating a di(isononyl)phthalate with the CAS No. 68515-48-0; Di(isononyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating an n-butene-based di(isononyl)phthalate with the CAS No. 28553-12-0; Di(isononyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating an isobutene-based di(isononyl)phthalate with the CAS No. 28553-12-0; a 1,2-di-C9-alkylester of cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, obtainable by hydrogenating a di(nonyl)phthalate with the CAS No. 68515-46-8; a di(isodecyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating a di(isadecyl)phthalate with the CAS No. 68515-49-1; a 1,2-di-C7-11-alkylester of cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, obtainable by hydrogenating the corresponding phthalic ester with the CAS No. 68515-42-4; a 1,2-di-C7-11-alkylester of cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, obtainable by hydrogenating the di-C9-11-phthalates with the following CAS Nos.: 111-381-89-6, 111-381 90-9, 111-91-0; 68515-44-6, 68515-45-7 and 3648-20-7; a 1,2-di-C9-11-alkylester of cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, obtainable by hydrogenating a di-C9-11-phthalate with the CAS No. 98515-43-5; a 1,2-di(isodecyl)cyclohexanedicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating a di(isodecyl)phthalate, which is mainly composed of di-(2-propylheptyl)phthalate; a 1,2-di-C7-9-cyclohexanedicarboxylate, obtainable by hydrogenating the corresponding phthalic ester, which has branched or linear C7-9-alkyl ester groups. 6.
