Coherent, essentially isodimensional, free-flowing, watersoluble or water-dispersible pesticide aggregates which are resistant to attrition in shipping and storage and which will pass a U.S. Standard 10-mesh sieve and will be retained on a U.S. Standard 140-mesh sieve comprising a mixture of from 5 to 95% by weight of a pesticide or mixture of pesticides and from 5 to 40% by weight of a water-soluble binder-dispersant are useful for dry application or as aqueous sprays when dissolved or dispersed in water for control of undesirable agricultural pests. The aggregates are prepared by contacting the finely divided solid ingredients in a fluidized bed with a fine spray of water or of a solution of the binder-dispersant followed by drying. |
