New Zealand Field Trials

Recent testing from New Zealand Stonefruit Orchards has shown reduced sensitivity to the Group 3 – demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides. It is therefore vital to follow robust resistance management guidelines for all fungicide groups. As a co-formulation of 2 active ingredients from different chemical groups, Luna Sensation is an essential part of resistance management in Stonefruit. 

Brown rot (Monilinia fruiticola) is the most economically devastating disease for stonefruit growers. Infections can result in yield losses through fruit rots at harvest. Latent infections not visible at harvest develop into rots in storage and reduce shelf life in the post-harvest food chain.
