The invention relates to a liquid nonaqueous composition comprising a pesticide in form of suspended particles a water soluble solvent an inorganic thickener and an alkoxylate. It further relates to a method for the preparation of the composition where the pesticide the water soluble solvent the inorganic thickener the alkoxylate optionally the block polymer surfactant and optionally the nonionic cosurfactant are contacted. Further it relates to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants where the composition is allowed to act on the particular pests their habitat or the plants to be protected from the particular pest the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or the useful plants and/or their habitat.
