Patent ID: 8771676

Claim:
An agrochemically active microbial formulation, comprising at least one ester compound, a surfactant suitable for emulsifying the at least one ester compound and an agrochemically active microbe, wherein the at least one ester compound is selected from the following group: (a) an ester compound which is liquid at 25° C., of a monovalent fatty acid and a polyhydric alcohol represented by the formula (I): wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group, a hydroxymethyl group or a 2-hydroxyethyl group, and m and n are the same or different, and represent 1 or 2, provided that R 1 and R 2 are not a hydrogen atom at the same time; (b) an ester compound which is liquid at 25° C., of diglycerin and a monovalent fatty acid; and (c) a diester compound which is liquid at 25° C., of adipic acid and a monohydric alcohol, wherein the at least one ester compound is present in an amount of 40 to 99.8% by weight of the total weight of the agrochemically active microbial formulation.
