Luna Care 71,6 WG

Professional protection for top fruit orchards

Maintaining the health of apple and pear orchards requires a robust defense strategy against both fungal pathogens and bacterial infections. Luna Care 71,6 WG by Bayer provides a sophisticated solution by combining the strengths of fluopyram and fosetyl-aluminum. This fungicide is specifically designed for growers who demand consistent results in high-pressure environments.

Field application and strategy

• Bacterial fire blight management: The systemic action of fosetyl-aluminum is vital for controlling Erwinia amylovora, providing the trees with an internal defense mechanism.
• Fungal disease control: The formula excels in preventing apple scab, powdery mildew, and various types of fruit rot, ensuring high-quality yields throughout the harvest season.
• Dual-mode efficiency: Acting both as a contact and systemic agent, it coats the fruit surface while moving within the plant tissue to protect new growth.

In standard orchard management, application rates range from 0.5 to 1.0 kg/ha depending on the infection risk and crop growth stage. With a limit of 2 to 3 applications per season, the product fits perfectly into a rotation scheme designed to prevent resistance while maintaining maximum efficacy. Its formulation as water-dispersible granules ensures easy mixing and clean application through spray equipment, preventing nozzle clogs and promoting uniform coverage.

Choosing Luna Care means investing in stable production and reducing losses from unpredictable weather conditions that often exacerbate disease outbreaks.
