Popis: A simple method, 'Stabileze', is described for granulating fungi with water-absorbent starch, sucrose, corn oil and silica. The potential biological control fungi, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Fusarium oxysporum , were stabilized using this protocol. Bioassays were performed on C. gloeosporioides and showed retention of pathogenicity. Sucrose and oil were tested for their effects on the viability of F. oxysporum over time, and sucrose appears to be the most beneficial factor.
