Not so many reports on the practical use of herbicidal sulfonylurea compounds have been made since they easily decompose in water or a process for production of their suspensions is complicated. Therefore, it is desired to prepare a water-based herbicidal suspension in which a herbicidal sulfonylurea compound will not decompose in water and excellent suspensibility of which is maintained, without complicated process. A water-based herbicidal suspension comprising (1) a herbicidal sulfonylurea compound (excluding 1-[3-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoyl)sulfamoyl]-2-pyridyl]-2-fluoropropyl methoxyacetate and N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-(2-fluoro-1-hydroxypropyl)-3-pyridinesulfonamide) or its salt, (2) an inorganic salt, (3) at least one sulfonate selected from the group consisting of an aryl sulfonate, an alkylaryl sulfonate and their formaldehyde condensates and (4) water.
