Active ingredients and dual mode of action
Luna Experience combines two distinct biochemical pathways to manage fungal pathogens and overcome resistance. Fluopyram is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI, FRAC Group 7), blocking complex II in fungal mitochondrial respiration. Tebuconazole inhibits fungal ergosterol biosynthesis (DMI, FRAC Group 3), halting mycelial expansion within plant tissue.
- Fluopyram (17.7%): Novel SDHI chemistry providing translaminar mobility and preventive spore inhibition.
- Tebuconazole (17.7%): Systemic triazole providing curative eradication of established fungal mycelia.
- Formulation: Suspension Concentrate (SC) ensuring uniform coverage and high rainfastness.
Target crops and major fungal diseases
- Grapes: Powdery mildew (Uncinula necator) on foliage, inflorescences, and developing berries.
- Chili: Powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica) and anthracnose fruit rot.
- Onion: Purple blotch (Alternaria porri) and Stemphylium blight.
- Apple: Apple scab and powdery mildew.
Application guidance and resistance stewardship
Apply at the early onset of disease symptoms using adequate water volume to ensure thorough canopy coverage. To manage SDHI sensitivity, avoid applying more than two consecutive applications of Luna Experience per season, rotating with contact protectants. Comply strictly with CIBRC label directions and pre-harvest intervals.

Common questions
What are the active ingredients in Luna Experience?
Luna Experience contains Fluopyram 17.7% and Tebuconazole 17.7% in a suspension concentrate formulation.
Which major disease does Luna Experience control in grapes?
It provides exceptional control of powdery mildew on grape leaves, flower clusters, and developing berry bunches.
Why is alternating Luna Experience with other fungicides recommended?
Alternating different FRAC groups prevents fungal strains from developing resistance to single-site SDHI and triazole chemistries.
