The present invention relates to the use of surface-reacted calcium carbonate-containing minerals and/or surface-reacted precipitated calcium carbonates as solid particulate carriers to enhance the efficacy of agrochemical compounds loaded onto of said carriers. 1. Use of a particulate solid carrier to enhance the efficacy of an agrochemical compound loaded onto said carrier;characterized in that the particulate solid carrier comprises a surface-reacted calcium carbonate-containing mineral and/or a surface-reacted precipitated calcium carbonate.2. The use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the agrochemical compound is selected from fungicides claim 1 , herbicides claim 1 , insecticides claim 1 , fertilizers claim 1 , micronutrients claim 1 , phytohormones claim 1 , and mixtures thereof claim 1 , preferably the agrochemical compound is a fungicide claim 1 , more preferably a fungicide selected from metalaxyl and dimethomorph claim 1 , and most preferably dimethomorph.3. The use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the agrochemical compound has an absolute water solubility at 20° C. of less than 10 g/l claim 1 , preferably less than 1.0 g/l claim 1 , and most preferably less than 0.1 g/l.4. The use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the particulate solid carrier is used in a weight ratio of from 1 000:1 to 1:1 claim 1 , preferably 500:1 to 2:1 claim 1 , and most preferably 200:1 to 3:1 on a dry weights basis relative to the weight of the agrochemical compound.5. The use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the particulate solid carrier is used to enhance the efficacy of an agrochemical compound loaded onto said carrier in an aqueous formulation claim 1 , preferably in an aqueous formulation with the particulate solid carrier being present in an amount of from 0.5 to 75 wt.-% claim 1 , more preferably 1 to 60 wt.-% claim 1 , even more preferably 2 to 50 wt.-% claim 1 , and most preferably 5 to 25 wt.-% claim 1 , based on the total ...
