New Bayer potato fungicide offers growers control of early blight, white mold and other key potato diseases.
Bayer has announced Luna® Pro fungicide has received EPA registration. Luna Pro is a premium premix fungicide that provides both foliar and soilborne disease control in potatoes.
The newest addition to the Bayer potato portfolio utilizes prothioconazole, a DMI foliar fungicide, and fluopyram, an SDHI fungicide. DMIs work by hindering the growth of certain fungi on a cellular level, which helps to improve overall plant health and increase yield potential. Luna Pro is the first DMI-containing foliar fungicide offered by Bayer for potatoes.
The combination of two proven active ingredients, fluopyram (FRAC group 7) and prothioconazole (FRAC group 3), offers a strong defense against early blight, white mold and other key potato diseases. The addition of prothioconazole provides a second mode of action with rotational flexibility and increased resistance management. Luna Pro utilizes a combination of systemic active ingredients that provides protection throughout the plant helping growers deliver excellent crops to market.
