Luton

Synergistic active ingredients: why Luton works

Luton fungicide is formulated using a combination of azoxystrobin and flutriafol. This technical approach addresses core agronomic needs for crop protection. Azoxystrobin, belonging to the strobilurin class, acts as a powerful preventive agent by disrupting mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells. Flutriafol, from the triazole class, provides rapid systemic penetration, acting as an effective curative agent.

Technical breakdown of the product

The suspension concentrate (SC) formulation ensures optimal solubility and stability of the spray solution. Given its systemic action, the product distributes rapidly through plant tissues, which is essential during the active growth phases of wheat or sunflower.

• Pathogen Control: broad-spectrum efficacy against Alternaria, Sclerotinia, Septoria, Fusarium, Phomopsis, Phoma, and powdery mildew.
• Application Flexibility: recommended dosage ranges from 0.5 to 1 L/ha, depending on the phytosanitary status of the field.
• Usage Regulation: maximum of 2 treatments per season, with a pre-harvest interval of 30 days.

Practical application

For winter crops like wheat and barley, Luton serves as a reliable barrier against early infection, while for sunflower and rapeseed, it becomes an essential tool to maintain productivity during seed filling. The dual-mechanism approach significantly reduces the risk of pathogen resistance, which is vital in modern intensive farming. Classified as a 3rd-degree hazard, it adheres to standard industrial safety protocols while maintaining high crop safety when dosage guidelines are followed.
