Bayer Luna Tranquility Fungicide - 2.5 Gallon (2/Cs)

The Bayer Luna Tranquility® fungicide (from Bayer Crop Science) is a premium, broad-spectrum systemic fungicide combining two distinct modes of action for superior preventive, curative, and protective control of key fungal diseases in specialty crops.

It features fluopyram (Group 7, SDHI class) and pyrimethanil (Group 9, anilinopyrimidine class), providing robust resistance management and long-lasting residual activity that enhances plant health, crop quality, and post-harvest storage potential.

This unique co-formulation delivers "all-in-one" protection against multiple diseases in a single application, making it a trusted choice for growers seeking efficient, high-performance disease management.

Primary Crops and Applications

• Pome fruit (e.g., apples, pears): Controls scab (including resistant strains) and powdery mildew
• Grapes (especially wine grapes): Effective against powdery mildew and Botrytis bunch rot (gray mold)
• Potatoes: Excellent control of early blight, brown leaf spot, white mold, and black dot
• Small berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries): Suppresses gray mold and powdery mildew, with post-harvest latent protection
• Bulb vegetables (e.g., onions): Systemic control of Botrytis leaf blight, purple blotch, and Stemphylium leaf blight
• Tomatoes: Protects against early blight and Septoria leaf spot

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual modes of action → Reduces resistance risk; ideal for rotation programs (limit to no more than 2 sequential applications before switching groups)
• Systemic movement → Uniform uptake protects new growth, buds, blooms, and hidden infection sites
• Preventive and curative activity → Post-infection efficacy (e.g., for apple scab) with extended residual protection
• Tank-mix flexibility → Compatible with many common fungicides, insecticides, and nutrients
• Crop safety → Low risk to beneficials when used as directed; supports healthier plants and higher yields

General Specifications
