Mode of Action:

Luna Experience is a systemic fungicide that works by two different modes of action. Fluopyram is a unique fungicide with a novel mode of action. It disrupts the energy production of fungi by inhibiting the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme. Tebuconazole is a triazole fungicide that inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This combination of modes of action makes Luna Experience very effective against a wide range of fungal diseases.

Application:

Luna Experience can be applied to a variety of crops, including apples, pears, grapes, tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes. It can be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence, but it is most effective when applied preventatively. Luna Experience can be applied using a variety of application methods, including ground spraying, aerial spraying, and chemigation.

• Luna Experience can be harmful to non-target plants. Avoid applying Luna Experience to areas where non-target plants are growing.
