Stable agrochemical compositions are provided by incorporating at least one of the alpha -unsaturated amine derivatives having the following formula: <CHEM> wherein one of X<1> and X<2> is an electron attracting group and the other is hydrogen or an electron attracting group; R<1> is a group attached through a nitrogen atom; R<2> is hydrogen or a group attached through a carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen atom; n is an integer of 0, 1, or 2; and A is a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group or a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic hydrocarbon group; and salts thereof, into an agrochemically acceptable solid carrier (clay minerals capable of adsorption (including fuller's earth, terra alba, bentonite, and activated fuller's earth), zeolite, activated charcoal, and beta -cyclodextrin, etc.) under a pH 5.5 or less condition. The agrochemical (pesticidal) compositions exert potent shelf life and light-resistance. |
