Pesticidal composition

Abstract

A pesticidal composition comprising (a) 1 to 50% by weight of a lipophilic compound as a pesticidally active ingredient, (b) 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant, (c) 0.3 to 4% by weight of at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylarylsulfonic acid salts and alkylbiphenylsulfonic acid salts, (d) 15 to 40% by weight of a fatty acid ester represented by the formula: RCOOR′  [1] wherein R is an alkyl group having 2 to 21 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 2 to 21 carbon atoms, and R′ is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and (e) 20 to 80% by weight of an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, which shows a good emulsion stability when diluted with water, has a good low-temperature storage stability, and is only slightly irritant.
