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.
