In order that an agriculturally active ingredient, particularly a water-insoluble or water-hardly soluble agriculturally active ingredient sufficiently exerts its effects, it is used preferably in the form of an agricultural formulation having the agriculturally active ingredient dissolved, particularly a clear agricultural formulation having not only the agriculturally active ingredient but also other components contained in the agricultural formulation dissolved. Further, when the agricultural formulation is practically used, if foaming when diluted with water is intense, foam may overflow from a tank in which the solution is prepared. Accordingly, a clear agricultural formulation having the agriculturally active ingredient dissolved and further other components contained in the agricultural formulation dissolved, and its foaming when diluted with water suppressed, is required. An agricultural formulation comprising an agriculturally active ingredient (a), a surfactant (b), a silicone compound (c) represented by the formula (I) (see specification) and an organic solvent (d), wherein (a), (b) and (c) are dissolved in (d) is provided. |
