The present invention relates to compositions of microencapsulated organic compounds, such as pesticides, including insecticides, and methods of making and using the microcapsules. Encapsulating materials include proteins and degradable polymers. These microencapsulated organic compounds provide, for example, increased effective working time of pesticides, resulting in lowered need for reapplication of the pesticides.
