The invention relates to the technical field of pesticides, and in particular to a type of 3-isoxazolidinone compound, as well as a preparation method, a herbicidal composition and an application thereof. The 3-isoxazolidinone compound is as shown in Formula I:

##STR00001## wherein, Q.sub.1 and Q.sub.2 each independently represent O or S; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represent alkyl. The present compounds have superior crop safety while maintaining comparable or even better herbicidal activity, thus they are more selective in crops. Moreover, the compounds of the present invention have better anti-volatility to avoid drift.

This invention provides for a solid, particulate insecticidal formulation in the form of a granule, a bait or a tablet for mechanical incorporation into or onto soil comprising a volatile insecticidal active ingredient that is microencapsulated and combined with a bulking agent and a disintegrating agent. The solid particulate formulation is characterized in that the volatile insecticide is selected from insecticidal active ingredients having: (a) a vapour pressure at 25 C. in the range from about 1 mPa to about 1,000 mPa; and (b) a water solubility at 25 C. less than about 100 mg/Litre.
