The present invention relates to a stable agrochemical formulation, comprising a silicate salt, zinc oxide nanoparticles, a vegetable oil, a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants, a dispersant or a mixture of dispersants and, a stabilizer or mixture of stabilizers useful in the prevention or control of a plant disease produced by a microorganism, such as fungi or oomycetes. Additionally, the present invention relates to a method for preparing such agrochemical formulations. The agrochemical formulations and the method of the invention facilitate the preparation of agrochemical formulations containing silicate salts and zinc oxide nanoparticles, which furthermore decrease the environmental impact produced by the dispersion of pesticidal, bactericidal, fungicidal and oomyceticidal compounds.
