First Claim
1. Water-dispersible granules which consist essentially ofa) 1 to 80% by weight of live entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana or spores thereof,b) 5 to 60% by weight of at least one wetting agent, or at least one dispersant, or at least one wetting agent and at least one disperant, selected from the group consisting of sodium oleylmethyltauride, sodium methoxylignosulfonate, sodium lignosulfonate, a sodium dinaphthylmethanedisulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate, sodium polycarboxylate, long-chain olefin sulfonates, isotridecanol polyglycol ether and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate,c) 2 to 50% by weight of at least one protective substance which prevents desiccation, selected from the group consisting of vegetable oil, mineral oil, glycerol, sodium alginate, sodium glutamate, glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, and cellulose,d) 5 to 70% by weight of magnesium silicate or aluminum silicate, ande) 0.5 to 20% by weight of at least one substance which protects against UV radiation, selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, andf) a residual water content of 2-10%.

Abstract
Disclosed and claimed are granules containing: (a) 5 to 80% with weight of spores or active units of one or more organisms which act as pesticides or plant treatment agents, (b) 5 to 60% by weight of one or more suitable wetting agents and dispersants, (c) 2 to 50% by weight of at least one protective substance which prevents desiccation, (d) 5 to 70% by weight of magnesium silicate or aluminum silicate, (e) 0.5 to 20% by weight of at least one substance which protects against UV radiation, and (f) a residual water content of 2-10%. The granules are a spray formulation which can be used as pesticides or plant treatment products. The granules have storage stability and are free-flowing, low in dust and readily measured out in use.
