  • Patent number: 5888500
    Abstract: A biocarrier loaded with up to 60% by weight of a mixture including a biological control agent. The biocarrier is derived from the residual cell mass remaining after lipids and soluble proteins and sugars have at least in part been removed from crushed or ground oil seeds. The biological control agent is an agrochemical, biopesticide or mixtures thereof. When the product is formulated as a granule, tablet or briquette it has good hardness and produces substantially no dust, thereby reducing operator exposure to the biological control agent.
