Abstract
A sprayable pesticidal or herbicidal composition comprises inert carrier particles having supported thereon a fungal growth. The fungal growth comprises mycelium that is grown on the particles using a solid state fermentation process. The particles are provided in a dry state and can be suspended in a liquid carrier for spray application when needed. The invention also provides for a thickening agent that increases the viscosity of the spray solution so as to prevent sedimentation of the particles.
