Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for encapsulating biologically active agents in starch-based adherent granules. Simple and economic methods have been developed to prepare said adherent granules.

These methods and compositions are useful in controlling insects and other species of pests having chewing mouth parts and amylase digestive enzymes.
