The company has recently registered its in-field use, Luna fungicide which has shown exciting results on apples and progressively more on cherries. Disease control has been significant, increasing storage life especially when cherries are being shipped overseas on its 21 day travels to Japan and 28 day trips to Europe. The results of the new product have also shown improved health in the trees themselves. Herb Young, Product Manager, tells AndNowUKnow, "Luna is the result of a new class of chemistry, revealing a new, higher level of efficacy with a broader spectrum of diseases that it can control. We are excited to bring this innovative new item to growers and the industry."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
