The present invention relates to a method for preparing granules comprising the steps of A) preparing an adjuvanted slurry by milling an aqueous composition Al containing a pesticide and a silica absorbent to yield a pesticidal slurry, and adding an adjuvant to the pesticidal slurry; and B) granulating the adjuvanted slurry, wherein the granulation comprises a fluidized bed granulation or sprouted bed granulation. It further relates to granules obtainable be said method comprising 1 to 30 wt % of the pesticide, 10 to 35 wt % of the adjuvant, 8 to 30 wt % of the silica absorbent, and wherein the weight ratio of the silica gel to the adjuvant is from 2/1 to 1/3,5, and finally to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, where the granules obtainable by said method are allowed to act on the particular pests, their habitat or the plants to be protected from the particular pest, the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or the useful plants and/or their habitat.

Granules obtainable by milling pesticide and silica, addition of adjuvant, and fluidized bed granulation
