The strigolactone receptor inhibitor for plants contains at least one kind of triazole urea compounds represented by the following formula (I) as an active ingredient. It can be applicable to an agricultural composition; a method for using the agricultural composition as, for example, a branching enhancer for plants; a germination inhibitor for Striga seeds, the germination inhibitor containing the triazole urea compound; and a novel triazole urea compound that is useful as a strigolactone receptor inhibitor for plants. In the formula, A represents a group represented by (A-1) or (A-2). R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent a hydrogen atom and so forth. R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms and so forth. R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 may form a ring together.

Compositions for improving plant health, the compositions comprising at least one water-soluble pesticide and at least one non-herbicidal water-insoluble agrochemical, are described. Also described are processes for preparing the compositions and methods of improving agronomic crop plant health using the compositions.

An acaricide includes a surfactant and a penetrant. The acaricide has good, quick-acting effects, long effective period, safe and environment friendly, good stability, and a wide range of applications. The acaricide is not only capable of being used for exterminating agricultural and forest mites, but is also capable of being used for exterminating medical and animal husbandry mites. The acaricide has few to none drug residues and has good stability in acaricidal effect. Moreover, the acaricide is convenient to use, and may be used either alone or added directly into other insecticides.
