Bayer Profiler fungicide is a systemic and contact fungicide made for grapes to control downy mildew and contains Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG, a dual-action combination that protects the crop from outside and supports protection from inside. Bayer Profiler works on important stages of the downy mildew fungus and helps reduce spore development, leaf infection, and bunch damage. Bayer Profiler fungicide helps protect new leaves, hidden bunches, and sensitive flowering-stage growth. Profiler fungicide also supports natural crop defense and is useful in resistance management programs for grapes. Bayer Profiler is a strong choice for grape growers who want longer protection, faster action, and better disease control.
Key Features and Benefits of Profiler fungicide:
Targeted Control: Bayer Profiler fungicide helps manage downy mildew in grapes by reducing infection, disease spread, and damage.
Combinational Formula: Profiler fungicide contains Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG, giving dual protection.
Dual Application: Bayer Profiler works on the crop surface and also supports internal plant protection, helping improve overall disease control.
Protects New Growth: Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG helps protect fresh leaves, tender shoots, and hidden grape bunches during active crop growth.
Resistance Management: Bayer Profiler fungicide has a unique mode of action, which makes it tough for the pathogens to develop resistance.
Long Lasting: Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG gives extended crop protection when applied early with proper spray coverage.
Profiler Fungicide Uses:
Downy Mildew: Leaf spots, yellow patches, white fungal growth on the lower leaf side, bunch infection, and disease spread in grapes.
Oomycete Disease Pressure: Moisture-loving fungal problems that develop quickly in humid and wet vineyard conditions.
Sensitive Crop Stages: Flowering, new leaf growth, bunch formation, and early disease-risk stages in grapes.
Resistance Management Programs: Bayer Profiler fungicide can be used in rotation with other suitable grape fungicides for stronger disease planning.
Bayer Profiler Dose:
Use Bayer Profiler as a foliar spray in grapes. Profiler Fungicide Dose Per Litre is about 3 gm per litre of water. For acre use, Profiler fungicide is commonly used at around 900 to 1000 gm per acre, depending on water volume, canopy size, and disease pressure. Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG should be sprayed evenly so leaves, shoots, and bunches receive proper coverage.
Crop | Target Disease | Dose per acre | Application Method | PHI |
|---|
Grapes | Downy mildew | 900 to 1000 gm | Foliar spray in enough water for full canopy coverage | 32 days |
Grapes | Early downy mildew pressure | 900 to 1000 gm | Preventive or early curative foliar spray | 32 days |
Grapes | Downy mildew risk during flowering and bunch stage | 900 to 1000 gm | Uniform spray on leaves, shoots, and bunch zone | 32 days |
How to Use Bayer Profiler:
Measure the required quantity of Bayer Profiler fungicide as per the vineyard area and spray volume.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water before adding Profiler fungicide.
Mix Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG in a small amount of water first.
Add the prepared Bayer Profiler mixture into the main spray tank.
Stir the spray solution well, so Profiler fungicide disperses evenly.
Add the remaining water and keep the tank solution properly mixed.
Spray Bayer Profiler fungicide uniformly on grape leaves, shoots, and bunches.
Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces because downy mildew often develops under the leaf.
Apply Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG before disease becomes severe.
Do not spray Bayer Profiler during strong wind, heavy rain, or very hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared Profiler fungicide spray solution on the same day.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Bayer Profiler fungicide when weather is humid, cloudy, or favorable for downy mildew development. Profiler fungicide gives better results when used as a preventive spray or at the first disease stage. Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG can be especially useful during flowering, new leaf growth, and bunch protection stages. Morning or evening spray is better for reducing evaporation and spray loss.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One well-timed Bayer Profiler fungicide spray can protect grapes during important disease-risk stages. Repeat only if disease pressure continues and crop guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated vineyard for at least 24 hours after Profiler fungicide application without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Do not mix Bayer Profiler blindly with insecticides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or other fungicides. Always do a jar test before tank mixing.
Application Care: Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetyl-Aluminium 66.67% WG works best when the spray reaches new leaves, lower leaf surfaces, and hidden bunches.
Resistance Care: Use Bayer Profiler fungicide in rotation with other suitable fungicide groups and avoid continuous repeated use of the same chemistry.

Read the Bayer Profiler fungicide label carefully before mixing and spraying.
