1. Slow and controlled dissolving water-soluble granules of salen manganese complexes, consisting essentially of
a) from 1 to 89% by weight of a water-soluble manganese complex of formula
OG Complex Work Unit Drawing
 wherein
m, n and p are each independently of the others 0, 1, 2 or 3,
R, R1 and R1′ are each independently of the others cyano; halogen; OR4 or COOR4 wherein
R4 is hydrogen; nitro; linear or branched C1-C8alkyl; linear or branched partially fluorinated or perfluorinated C1-C8alkyl; or NHR6, NR5R6 or NR5R6R7 wherein R5, R6 and R7 are the same or different and are each hydrogen or linear or branched C1-C12alkyl or wherein R5 and R6 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring, which may contain further hetero atoms, or are linear or branched C1-C8alkyl-R8 wherein R8 is a radical OR4, COOR4 or NR5R6 as defined above or is NH2 or NR5R8R7 wherein R5, R6 and R7 are as defined above,
b) from 10 to 95% by weight of a dissolution restrainer,
c) from 0 to 20% by weight of a further additive and
d) from 1 to 15% by weight of water, based on the total weight of the granules.
