The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion comprising solid pesticide particles with a particle size of below 10 μm and a saccharide which is dissolved in the aqueous phase. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of a dispersion according to the invention by bringing a pesticide and a saccharide, which is a monosaccharide, a disaccharide or a mixture of mono- and disaccharide, into contact and dispersing them. A further subject matter relates to the use of a saccharide for slowing down the particle growth of pesticide particles with a particle size of up to 10 μm in aqueous dispersion, to the use of the dispersion or the solid composition for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants. Finally, the present invention also relates to seed, dressed with the dispersion or the solid composition.
