Advantages of Blue Gold
- Unique copper phosphonate formula — has no analogues among copper-containing products
- Dual action: contact (on the surface) + translaminar (penetrates leaf tissue)
- Boosts plant immunity, stimulates natural defense mechanisms
- Effective against both fungal and bacterial infections
- Rapidly absorbed by the plant—rain is no longer a concern 2–3 hours after application
- Does not induce resistance in pathogens thanks to its unique mode of action
- Improves photosynthesis and the overall condition of plants
- Can be used in organic farming
- Cost-effective — low application rate

Instructions for use:
- Preparation of the working solution: Shake the ampoule well before use. Open the ampoule, pour the contents into 1 L of water, and mix thoroughly. Bring the volume to 5–10 L depending on the severity of the infestation (5 L — prevention, 10 L — treatment)
- First application: as a preventive measure before signs of disease appear or at the first symptoms of the disease. For grapes — from the 3–5 leaf stage. For fruit trees — at the pink bud stage or after flowering
- Subsequent treatments: at 10–14-day intervals depending on weather conditions and the severity of the infestation. In rainy weather, reduce the interval to 7–10 days
- Application method: uniform foliar spraying until leaves are completely wet. Pay special attention to the underside of the leaves
- Weather conditions: apply on a dry, windless day in the morning (before 10:00 AM) or in the evening (after 6:00 PM). Avoid application in hot weather (above +25°C) and before rain
- Temperature range: optimal application temperature +15...+25°C. Do not apply at temperatures below +10°C
How Blue Gold works:
- Contact action: copper ions on the leaf surface inhibit the germination of fungal spores and the growth of bacteria
- Translaminar action: phosphonic acid penetrates leaf tissues, creating a protective barrier from within
- Immunostimulation: activates the plant’s own defense mechanisms (phytoalexins, PR proteins), increasing resistance to infections
- Pathogen suppression: blocks energy metabolism in fungal cells, halting their growth and reproduction
- Growth stimulation: phosphonates improve phosphorus uptake and enhance photosynthesis
Compatibility with other products:
- Compatible with most insecticides, acaricides, and fungicides with neutral or acidic pH
- NOT compatible with alkaline products (Bordeaux mixture, lime)
- Before applying the tank mix, conduct a compatibility test (mix a small amount of the products)
- Works well with systemic fungicides to enhance the effect
- Do not mix with mineral oils or products based on them
Why copper phosphonate is better than conventional copper-based products:
- Lower phytotoxicity: does not scorch leaves even in hot weather, unlike Bordeaux mixture
- Better solubility: does not precipitate, distributes evenly across the surface
- Systemic component: phosphonic acid penetrates the plant, providing protection from within
- Rapid absorption: within 2–3 hours, the product is already in the plant tissues; rain does not wash it off
- Longer-lasting effect: protection lasts 10–14 days compared to 7–10 days for regular copper
- Safer for the environment: breaks down faster in the soil, does not accumulate
Safety precautions:
- Hazard class: 2 (moderately hazardous to humans), 2 (hazardous to bees — flight restriction 12–20 hours)
- Always wear protective clothing, gloves, goggles, and a respirator
- Avoid contact with skin, mucous membranes, and eyes
- If it comes into contact with the skin, wash off with plenty of water and soap
- If it gets into the eyes, rinse with running water for 10–15 minutes and seek medical attention
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working
- After work, wash hands and face with soap and take a shower
- Apply in the morning or evening when bee activity is minimal
- Pre-harvest interval: 20 days
Storage conditions:
- Store in the original packaging in a dry, cool place
- Storage temperature: -20°C to +35°C
- Keep separate from food, animal feed, and medicines
- Keep out of reach of children and animals
- Shelf life: 3 years from the date of manufacture
- Use the working solution on the day of preparation
Why "Blue"? The name comes from the characteristic blue tint of the working solution—this is how the copper in the formulation works. But the real "magic" isn't in the color, but in the unique copper phosphonate formula, which provides double protection: from the outside and from the inside. It’s like giving a plant both a bulletproof vest and an immunity boost at the same time! We especially recommend it to grape growers—Blue Gold has become a real lifesaver against mildew in rainy years. The golden rule: prevention is better than cure—start treating BEFORE the disease appears!
