General Information:

• Trade name: Profiler
• Active ingredients: Fosetyl-aluminium (667 g/kg) and Fluopicolide (44.4 g/kg)
• Fungicide class: Phosphonate fungicide and SDHI fungicide

Mode of Action:

Profiler is a systemic fungicide that works by two different modes of action. Fosetyl-aluminium is a phosphonate fungicide that induces the plant's own defense mechanisms against the fungus. Fluopicolide is an SDHI fungicide that inhibits the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme in the fungus. SDH is a key enzyme in the fungus's energy production pathway. By inhibiting SDH, Profiler prevents the fungus from producing the energy it needs to grow and reproduce.

Application:

Profiler can be applied to a variety of crops, including grapes, hops, and pome fruits. It can be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence, but it is most effective when applied preventatively. Profiler can be applied using a variety of application methods, including ground spraying, aerial spraying, and chemigation.

Precautions:

• Profiler is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Do not apply Profiler to areas where it may run off into water bodies.
• Profiler can be harmful to non-target plants. Avoid applying Profiler to areas where non-target plants are growing.
• Profiler is a residual fungicide, so it can persist in the soil for several weeks. Do not plant crops that are sensitive to Profiler within 3 to 6 weeks of application.

Always follow the label directions carefully when using Profiler fungicide to ensure safe and effective use.

Additional Information:

• Profiler is a relatively new fungicide, so there is less resistance to it than other fungicides.
• Profiler is a broad-spectrum fungicide, which means that it is effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including:
  • Downy mildew
  • Powdery mildew
  • Botrytis
  • Alternaria leaf spot
  • Black rot
• Profiler is a systemic fungicide, which means that it is absorbed by the plant and translocated to the growing points. This makes it very effective at controlling fungal diseases.

Profiler is a valuable tool for farmers and other land managers who need to control fungal diseases in a variety of crops. It is important to use Profiler according to the label directions to ensure safe and effective use.
