Luna fungicide receives label expansion in California

Luna fungicide is now approved for use on a wider range of fruit, tree nut and vegetable crops in California.

“This label expansion offers key fungicide options to horticulture growers in California,” said Bayer Product Manager Joel Lipsitch. “With three Luna formulations, growers will have tailored solutions for their key disease management challenges.”

The fungicide portfolio includes Luna Sensation, Luna Experience and Luna Tranquility. Luna fungicides provide long-lasting, systemic and broad-spectrum disease protection for a wide variety of annual and perennial fruit, tree nut and vegetable crops, according to Bayer.

Luna Sensation is registered for tree nuts, pome fruit, stone fruit, citrus, strawberries, carrots, leafy, brassica, fruiting and cucurbit vegetables.

Luna Experience is registered for grapes, tree nuts, cucurbit vegetables and hops.

Luna Tranquility is registered for potatoes, bulb crops, tomatoes, pome fruit, strawberries and caneberries/bushberries.

The dual mode of action in each Luna fungicide works to prevent disease and protect against fungicide resistance, according to the company.
