Fungal spore formulations including carrier fluids

A liquid preparation comprising:

• at least 50 wt.-% of at least one carboxylic ester comprising a carboxylic acid moiety and an alcohol moiety, wherein the carboxylic ester is not a carboxylic acid triglyceride from vegetable oils, and wherein the at least one carboxylic ester comprises a combination of:
• a) a carboxylic monoacid moiety and a monoalcohol moiety, wherein the carboxylic monoacid moiety is derived from a carboxylic monoacid selected from the group consisting of lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, and ricinolic acid, and the monoalcohol moiety is derived from a monoalcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 2-ethylhexan-1-ol, capryl alcohol, pelargonic alcohol, isononyl alcohol and capric alcohol;
• b) at least one carboxylic monoacid moiety and a polyalcohol moiety, wherein the carboxylic monoacid moiety is derived from a carboxylic monoacid selected from the group consisting of caprylic acid, capric acid and acetic acid, and wherein the polyalcohol moiety is derived from a polyalcohol selected from the group consisting of glycerol, ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol and sorbitan;
• and
• c) a carboxylic polyacid moiety and at least one monoalcohol moiety, wherein the monoalcohol moiety is derived from a monoalcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol, pentan-1-ol, pentan-2-ol, pentan-3-ol, 2-methylbutan-1-ol, 2-methylbutan-2-ol, 3-methylbutan-1-ol, 3-methylbutan-2-ol and 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol, and wherein the carboxylic polyacid moiety is derived from a carboxylic polyacid selected from the group consisting of 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid and O-Acetyl citric acid;
• and
• fungal spores of a fungus, wherein the fungal spores exert a beneficial effect on plants.
