Release forms
Profit Gold is sold in the form of brown granules in packages of 5, 6 and 1.5 g. Before use, it requires dilution with water.
Operating principle
Profit Gold is a systemic fungicidal preparation and protects plants from diseases in two ways at once. When sprayed, one of the main components of the product, cymoxanil, immediately penetrates the tissue. It has a beneficial effect from the inside, eliminates pathogenic microorganisms and cleanses affected cells.
The second component, famoxadone, lingers on the surface of stems and leaf blades. Its main task is to cleanse the plant of fungal spores located outside and prevent re-infection.
Application area
Profit Gold successfully fights protozoa bacteria that cause most fungal diseases, and helps with septoria, brown spot of strawberries, powdery mildew, downy mildew of onions, late blight and stem rot of tomatoes, anthracnose and alternaria, and mildew of grapes.
Profit Gold is most valued for its good effect against late blight
The drug can be used on almost any vegetable and garden crops, the main thing is to do this outside the fruiting period.
Consumption rates
Dosages and application rates depend on the type of treatment and the specific crop.But in general, the following recommendations stand out:
- for preventive spraying of nightshade plants, take 6 g of dry matter per bucket of water;
- for therapeutic treatment, the amount of water is reduced and the granules are dissolved in only 5 liters of liquid;
- Profit Gold fungicide for grapes is used in low concentration - 6 g of the product is added to 15 liters of water.
The prepared solution is enough to spray 1-1.5 acres of land.

Rules for using Profit Gold
Garden and vegetable crops require different approaches to spraying. Reviews and instructions for use of Profit Gold indicate dosages and timing for treatments.
For vegetable crops
The drug Profit Gold is suitable for the protection and treatment of all major garden plants:
- Instructions for use of Profit Gold for tomatoes and cucumbers look the same. 3 g of the drug is diluted in half a bucket of water, after which the plantings are treated in open ground or in a greenhouse. The specified amount of solution is enough to spray 50 meters of area. The first procedure is carried out immediately after transferring the seedlings into the soil, the second and third - with an interval of 2 weeks. In total, 3 sprayings need to be performed during the season, and the last one should take place no later than 21 days before harvest.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are treated with Profit Gold from the moment the seedlings are transferred
- For potatoes, the solution is prepared in similar proportions - 3 g of substance per half bucket. The first spraying is carried out after the tops appear on the beds, subsequent sprayings are carried out three more times at two-week intervals. Treatments are completed 15 days before digging up the crop, so as not to cause damage to root crops.
Profit Gold is used for potatoes after the tops appear and three more times during the summer
- For onions, dilute 3-4 g of fungicidal drug per 5 liters of water. Spraying is carried out three times during the active development of the crop, observing intervals of 2 weeks, and 21 days before harvesting the vegetables, the procedures are completed.
Onions are sprayed with Profit Gold fungicide 3 times.
In general, the rules for preventive and therapeutic treatments for vegetable crops are very similar. Only the dosage of the drug differs slightly, as well as the recommended intervals between the final spraying and the beginning of harvesting.
For fruit and berry crops
The drug is popular in the treatment of fruit and berry plants. The use of Profit Gold for grapes is especially recommended. The fungicide helps control mildew and improves the health of the vine.
For spraying, take a low concentration of the solution - 3 g of the protective agent is diluted in 7.5 liters of water. Instructions for use of Profit Gold on grapes suggest carrying out 3 treatments in spring and summer with a standard two-week break. Moreover, the last procedure should take place a month before harvesting ripe grapes.
Profit Gold helps against grape mildew and does not impair the quality of the berries
The instructions and reviews state that the use of Profit Gold for strawberries during flowering is allowed. Garden crops are especially often affected by brown spot during this period. To treat the plantings, take the usual medicinal solution - 3 g of the substance per half a bucket, after which strawberry leaves and stems are generously sprayed on all sides. If necessary, you can repeat the procedure 3-4 times, but during the ripening of the berries a month before the harvest, you should stop using the drug.
Strawberries can be sprayed with Profit Gold against brown spot even during flowering
For garden flowers
Profit Gold shows good effect when treating flower beds and rose bushes in the garden. It can be used to treat powdery mildew, fusarium, septoria and other diseases that affect, among other things, ornamental crops.
3 g of dry granules are dissolved in 6 liters of liquid, after which the flowerbed or rose garden is treated. If necessary, you can repeat the procedure four times from spring to autumn, observing intervals of 2 weeks.
Profit Gold helps protect flower beds from fungi, this is especially important in rainy summers
For indoor plants and flowers
Powdery mildew, root rot and other ailments develop in flowers at home. Profit Gold is suitable for therapeutic treatment - you need to stir 1.5 g of the drug in 3 liters of lukewarm water, and then spray your indoor plants four times from spring to autumn.
Flowers on the windowsill can be sprayed against rot and powdery mildew with Profit Gold up to 4 times
But soaking the roots in a fungicidal preparation before planting is not recommended. This simply won’t be of much benefit, since Profit Gold affects plants precisely through leaves and stems.
Compatibility with other drugs
The manufacturer does not recommend using Profit Gold together with other products of similar action. But at the same time, you can combine the drug with growth stimulants that do not contain alkali, for example, with Epin or Zykron.
Pros and cons of use
Reviews of Profit Gold treatments confirm that the fungicide has many serious advantages. These include:
- low toxicity to humans, animals and bees, the most basic precautions when using the drug must be observed;
- possibility of use during the flowering period;
- highly effective in combating the most common fungi;
- lack of resistance to the drug in pathogenic microorganisms - with frequent treatments, fungi do not develop “immunity” to the fungicide;
- safety for berries and fruits, in particular, Profit Gold does not in any way impair the taste of grapes and wines made from them.
With frequent use of Profit Gold, pathogenic bacteria do not develop resistance to it
It is necessary to note the disadvantages of the drug, namely:
- limited spectrum of action - Profit Gold shows high efficiency for tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and potatoes, grapes and strawberries, but the product cannot reliably treat the entire garden;
- it is pointless to use at temperatures above 25 °C, the active substances will disintegrate before they have a beneficial effect;
- uselessness against some common diseases - for example, grape oidium cannot be cured with Profit Gold.
When assessing the pros and cons of a fungicide, it must be emphasized that despite the shortcomings, it provides reliable protection against precisely those fungi that can destroy the entire harvest in a bad year. In particular, Profit Gold against late blight in the greenhouse is valued because it successfully fights even advanced cases of damage.
Security measures
The slightly toxic drug belongs to class 3 hazard for humans, animals and bees.This means that when spraying plantings, you can adhere to the basic rules:
- wear gloves and a face mask when working with fungicide;
- do not use containers in which food is prepared or stored to mix the solution;
- remove children and animals from the area in advance before treatments;
- do not smoke, drink or eat directly while spraying.
If Profit Gold gets on your skin or eyes, it should be washed off with plenty of water. If the drug is swallowed, take a large amount of activated carbon, induce vomiting and consult a doctor.
Profit Gold is quite safe, but you need to wear a mask and gloves when working with it
Storage rules
In a dry and dark place, the fungicide in the package can retain its beneficial properties for up to 2 years. The prepared solution for treating plants is used immediately - within 2-6 hours. It is not suitable for storage, so the residue after spraying is simply poured into a place where the drug will not harm either people or animals.
Conclusion
Instructions for use Profit Gold suggests using the product for main vegetable crops, grapes, strawberries and ornamental plants. When properly processed, the drug protects the vegetable garden and garden from the most dangerous and common fungal diseases.
