The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved an expanded label for Bayer's Luna® fungicides, permitting use on a larger group of fruit, nut and vegetable crops. Once approved in relevant states, these label expansions will be effective across a broad geographical range of markets from California and the Pacific Northwest to Florida.
"This label expansion will offer horticulture growers much needed fungicide options across a broader range of key horticulture crops," says Bayer Product Manager Joel Lipsitch.
Luna provides control of some of the most problematic fungal diseases.
The new labels expand the Luna registration to crops such as citrus, table and raisin grapes, berries, leafy vegetables, tomatoes, pome and stonefruit, and a variety of other fruits and vegetables. Specific registrations vary by state. Product labels should be consulted for detailed information.
The Luna fungicide portfolio includes Luna Sensation, Luna Experience and Luna Tranquility.
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.
