Bayer Luna Sensation Fungicide — Fluopyram & Trifloxystrobin 64oz

Dual-Mode Systemic Disease Control for Commercial Orchards & Row Crops, 64oz

Fungal disease that has already adapted to a single-site fungicide program keeps returning season after season, cutting into yield and fruit quality even when growers spray on schedule. Luna Sensation Fungicide pairs two active ingredients from different FRAC groups — Fluopyram (Group 7, SDHI) and Trifloxystrobin (Group 11, QoI) — in one premix, giving commercial growers two independent modes of action against Alternaria, Botrytis, Powdery Mildew, Scab, and other major fruit and vegetable diseases at 3.0-7.6 oz/Acre.

This 64oz jug is sized for commercial spray programs covering multiple acres per season, delivering enough concentrate for repeated applications across a 12-hour REI and PHI windows of 0 to 20 days depending on the labeled crop.

Key Features & Benefits

• Two-Site Mode of Action — combines Fluopyram (FRAC Group 7) and Trifloxystrobin (FRAC Group 11) in one premix, so a single fungal population has to overcome two mechanisms instead of one.
• Systemic Movement Into New Growth — carries active ingredients into buds, blooms, and newly emerging tissue, not just the leaf surface where a protectant fungicide stops.
• Broad Disease Coverage — labeled to control Alternaria, Botryosphaeria, Botrytis, Bunch Rots, Powdery Mildew, and Scab across a range of fruit and vegetable crops.
• 12-Hour REI, Flexible PHI — a 12-hour restricted entry interval and a 0-20 day pre-harvest interval depending on crop let Luna Sensation fit multiple points in a spray calendar.
• 64oz Commercial Format — sized for professional applicators treating larger acreage without frequent repackaging or reordering.

Who Should Use Bayer Luna Sensation Fungicide

Luna Sensation suits commercial fruit and vegetable growers, orchard managers, and certified applicators who need season-long disease suppression under high pressure, especially where single-site fungicide programs have lost effectiveness or where post-harvest storability is an economic priority. Indoor cultivation facilities managing Botrytis or powdery mildew in high-humidity environments are also a fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Luna Sensation differ from fungicides that rely on a single site of action?

Luna Sensation combines two active ingredients from different FRAC groups — Fluopyram (Group 7, SDHI) and Trifloxystrobin (Group 11, QoI) — so it works through two independent mechanisms in one application. That two-site approach controls fungal populations that have already developed resistance to single-site chemistry, which growers increasingly see in Botrytis and powdery mildew populations treated with one mode of action alone. Rotating a multi-site product like this into a spray program is standard resistance-management practice.

Can Luna Sensation be applied close to harvest on grapes and berries?

Yes — Luna Sensation carries a PHI as low as 0 days on certain labeled crops, giving commercial growers flexibility to treat late in the season without sacrificing harvest timing. PHI varies by crop from 0 to 20 days, so always confirm the specific interval for your crop on the current product label before applying.

What does the 12-hour REI mean for field crews?

REI stands for Restricted Entry Interval, the minimum time that must pass between application and when unprotected workers can re-enter a treated area. Luna Sensation's 12-hour REI typically allows crews back in the following morning after a late-day application, which fits standard commercial harvest and maintenance schedules.

Does Luna Sensation control Botrytis strains that resist older fungicides?

Fluopyram is an SDHI chemistry (FRAC Group 7) with a different binding site than older fungicide classes, and it has shown activity against Botrytis populations with reduced sensitivity to those older products. Bayer recommends rotating Luna Sensation within a broader resistance-management program rather than relying on it exclusively, consistent with standard IRM guidance for any single fungicide chemistry.

Is Luna Sensation registered for use in every state?

No — Luna Sensation is not registered for use in Alaska. Always confirm your state's pesticide registration status and any local use restrictions before purchasing or applying this product.
