The invention relates to a hyperbranched polymer comprising:

a) a hyperbranched polycondensate with hydroxyl end groups, amino end groups, or a combination thereof condensed to
b) one or more linking groups connected to
c1) one or more polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethers and
c2) one or more poly(C.sub.2-C.sub.3)alkylene glycol mono-(C.sub.8-C.sub.22)-alkyl ethers,
wherein the weight ratio of components c1):c2) is from 9:1 to 1:9. It further relates to a process for producing the polymer, to a composition comprising the polymer and an active ingredient, and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi or undesired vegetation or insect or acarid infestations or for regulating the growth of plants.

What is described is use of a polymeric solubilizer for increasing the soil mobility of a sparingly soluble insecticide, said polymeric solubilizer having the property that the active insecticidal ingredient in a 1% by weight aqueous solution of the polymeric solubilizer at 25° C. and 1.01325 bar has a solubility at least forty times higher than under the same conditions in pure water, and wherein the active ingredient:solubilizer weight ratio is ≦1.
