Scala Brand SC Fungicide is a foliar fungicide that provides high-level preventive control against many economically damaging diseases and helps control many resistant disease strains. With effectiveness in cool, wet and rainy weather conditions, Scala is an important addition to many spray programs.

Luna Sensation® and Luna Experience® are based on the active ingredient fluropyrum. Luna Brand Fungicides represent a solution for managing problematic diseases in nuts through long-lasting, systemic and broad-spectrum protection. The consistent performance of Luna will help you maximize yields and offer the highest-quality produce to the market while improving long-term plant health. Luna also brings an effective approach to resistance management.

This is how Scala®, Luna®, and Adament® FLOW almond fungicides help you.

Highly Effective Rotation Program

Scala brand fungicide at pink bud delivers systemic early-season protection from Brown Rot Blossom Blight. Follow your pink bud application with Luna Experience fungicide or Luna Sensation fungicide at bloom to provide long-lasting, broad-spectrum disease protection against Brown Rot Blossom Blight, Jacket Rot, Anthracnose, Shot Hole and Scab. Between two and five weeks after petal fall, choose Adament FLOW fungicide for late spring summer diseases. It’s a great rotational partner and resistance management tool. Adament offers protection through dual systemicity.
