Problem to be solved: to provide a pesticide formulation capable of gradually releasing a pesticide active component gradually and with a good elution rate, and maintaining the effect sufficiently for a long period of time. Problem to be solved: to provide a particulate carrier excellent in formability and productivity, and an agricultural chemical agent capable of suppressing the generation of dust containing active substances of agricultural chemicals due to exfoliation of active substances.Solution: a coating material containing an oxidation wax, an ester wax, and an inorganic dilute carrier, containing a pesticide active component, a thermoplastic resin which is not soluble in water, and an inorganic diluent carrier is formed on a granular carrier which does not contain the active ingredient of the pesticide.No selection【課題】農薬活性成分が徐々に且つ良好な溶出率で放出され、長期間に渡ってその効力を十分に持続させることができる農薬製剤を提供する。成形性及び生産性に優れた粒状担体、及び農薬活性成分の剥離等による農薬活性成分を含有する粉塵の発生を抑制した農薬製剤を提供する。【解決手段】酸化ワックス、エステル系ワックス、及び無機系希釈担体を含み、農薬活性成分を含まない粒状担体に、農薬活性成分、水に難溶性である熱可塑性樹脂、及び無機系希釈担体を添加した被覆層を形成する。【選択図】なし
