Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Provided is a particular form of natamycin that shows improved properties as a fungicide for use in agricultural applications. A preferred natamycin composition comprises a structuring agent and a surfactant. Said natamycin composition further comprises cellular matter from a natamycin-producing organism. The natamycin in a natamycin composition preferably has a surface area of less than 6 m2/g, and an average particle size of less than 6 micrometer. The invention further relates to methods, comprising contacting a plant or part thereof, a fungus, a fruit, a crop, a seed, and/or a soil with a natamycin composition of the invention.
