Provided is a granular agrochemical composition by which the problems
accompanying the prior art granular agrochemical compositions can be
overcome, which can be prepared in a simple formulation and by which
sustained releasability of the agrochemically active ingredient is
obtained so that the load on the environments can be decreased and the
chemical damages caused by the agrochemically active ingredient can be
alleviated or prevented. The granular agrochemical composition contains
an acidic agrochemically active ingredient, a cationic surfactant and a
basic substance. Inter alia, a pH of 5 or higher is obtained in a 1% by
mass aqueous suspension thereof. Preferably, the acidic agrochemically
active ingredient should have a pKa of 2 to 7 and the cationic surfactant
should be one which is gelled or exhibits swellability in water.
