The present invention relates to a stable agrochemical formulation that comprises a silicate salt, zinc oxide nanoparticles, a vegetable oil, a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants, a dispersant or a mixture of dispersants, and a stabliiser or mixture of stabilisers, which is useful in the prevention or control of a plant disease caused by a micro-organism, such as fungi or oomycetes. The invention also relates to a method for preparing such agrochemical formulations. The agrochemical formulations and the method of the invention facilitate the preparation of agrochemical formulations containing silicate salts and zinc oxide nanoparticles, which also reduce the environmental impact generated by the dispersion of pesticidal, bactericidal, fungicidal and oomyceticidal compounds. |
