ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish, mammals, and aquatic invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to
aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where
surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate
water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Surface Water Advisory
For terrestrial uses: DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or
to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of
equipment wash water or rinsate. This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain
water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product
is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more
after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is
applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading
of ingredients. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation
is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this products potential
to reach aquatic sediment via runoff.
3
Ground Water Advisory
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water.
This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly

PRODUCT INFORMATION
LUNA® FLEX is a broad-spectrum fungicide for the control or suppression of certain crop diseases.
USE RESTRICTIONS
• Not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties, New York except as permitted under
FIFRA 24(c), Special Local Need registration.
5
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, please note that LUNA FLEX contains both a Group 7 / SDHI and Group 3 / DMI
fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to LUNA FLEX and other Group
7 or Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are
used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of LUNA FLEX or other Group 7 and 3 fungicides within a growing season sequence
with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that are equally effective on the target
pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the
manufacturer.
• Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes scouting, uses
historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant
resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well
as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications.
Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance.
• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at
1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university
extension specialist to report resistance.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size
(ASABE S572.1).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Applications
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above
the ground or crop canopy.
• For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size
(ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all
applications.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
• THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
• BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
7
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide
target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift
will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray
drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is
needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
spray volume and droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles.
Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform
coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not
release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height
is necessary for pilot safety.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers.
Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
8
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light
to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of
smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally
in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during
temperature inversions.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect
spray drift.
BOOM-LESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Use sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage to obtain the most effective
disease control.
Aerial Application
For aerial application equipment, a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre for tree crops and 2 gallons
of water per acre for field and vegetable crops is required.
Ground Application
For optimum disease control, apply in sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage of foliage, bloom,
and fruit.

CHEMIGATION
Types of irrigation systems
Apply this product only through:
• Center pivot
• Motorized lateral move
• Traveling gun
• Solid set
• Portable (wheel, move, side roll, end tow, or hand move)
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration
The chemigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of
effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated
water. The chemigation system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified in crop-specific
label sections. If you have questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Chemigation Monitoring
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the
supervision of the responsible person, must shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
should the need arise.
Required System Safety Devices
Use for sprinkler chemigation:
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The
pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a
functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump
and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when
the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional
interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor
10
stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop
the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution
is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection
pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Using Water from Public Water Systems
DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to
a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems
are in place.
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human
consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at
least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. Chemigation systems connected to public
water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the
functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an
option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank
prior to pesticide introduction. There must be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet
end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter
of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick-closing check
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must
contain a functional normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection
pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank
when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain
functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water
pump motor stops or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to
the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump such
as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed
of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
11
Injection for Chemigation
Inject the specified dosage of LUNA FLEX into the irrigation main water stream: (1) through a constant
flow, metering device; (2) into the center of the main line flow via a pitot tube or equivalent; (3) at a
point ahead of at least one, right-angle turn in the main stream flow such that thorough mixing with the
irrigation water is ensured.
Center-Pivot and Automatic-Move Linear Systems
For injections of pesticides, these continuously moving systems must use a positive displacement
injection pump of either diaphragm or piston type and be constructed of materials that are compatible
with pesticides. They must also be capable of being fitted with a system interlock and capable of
injection at pressures approximately 2-3 times those encountered within the irrigation water line.
Venturi applicator units cannot be used on these systems. Thoroughly mix required amount of this
product for acreage to be covered into same amount of water used during calibration and inject into
system continuously for one revolution or run. Mixture in the chemical supply tank must be continuously
agitated during the injection run. Shut off injection equipment after one revolution or run, but continue to
operate irrigation system until this product has been cleared from the last sprinkler head.
Inject the specified dosage per acre continuously for one complete revolution (center pivot) or move of the
system. Run system at maximum speed. It is advised that nozzles in the immediate area of control panels,
chemical supply tanks, pumps, and system safety devices be plugged to prevent chemical contamination
of these areas. The use of END GUNS is NOT ADVISED. End guns that provide uneven distribution of treated
water can result in lack of effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues in or on the crop.
Solid Set and Manually Controlled Linear Systems
With stationary systems, an effectively designed in-line Venturi applicator unit is preferred to support
even and quick distribution. However, a positive-displacement pump can also be used. For solid set
systems, determine acreage covered by sprinkler. Fill the tank of injection equipment with water and
adjust flow to use contents over 30 to 45 minutes. Mix desired amount of this product for acreage
to be covered with water so that the total mixture of this product plus water in the injection tank is
equal to the quantity of water used during calibration.Provide chemical supply tank agitation sufficient
for mixing until chemigation is completed. Operate entire system at normal pressures as advised
by the manufacturer of injection equipment used, for amount of time established during calibration.
12
This product can be injected during the irrigation cycle or as a separate application. Stop injection
equipment with any system after treatment is completed and continue to operate irrigation system until
this product has been cleared from the last sprinkler head.
Flushing and Cleaning the Chemical Injection System
At the end of the application period, allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all nozzles or
emitters before turning off irrigation water. To ensure the lines are flushed and free of pesticides, a dye
indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period.
In order to apply pesticides accurately, the chemical injection system must be kept clean and free of
chemical or fertilizer residues and sediments. Refer to your owners manual or ask your equipment
supplier for the cleaning procedure for your injection system.
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
LUNA FLEX contains oil in the formulation. If tank-mixing LUNA FLEX with oil-sensitive products, read and follow
their label restrictions. Always follow the tank mix instructions of the product label that is most restrictive.
Begin with clean spray equipment and add one-half of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing
tank and start agitation. Add the required quantity of fungicide and the tank-mix partner, if applicable,
to the water and complete filling with water to the required total volume. Follow the recommendations
of your State Cooperative Extension Service for tank mixing with other products. In general, follow the
order beginning first with water conditioners, water soluble packaging (wait for it to completely dissolve),
wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products, liquid flowables and suspension concentrates,
emulsifiable concentrates, and adjuvants last. Maintain agitation throughout spraying. DO NOT allow spray
mixture to remain in the tank overnight, or for long periods during the day without agitation. When tank
mixing with other pesticides, observe the more restrictive label limitations and precautions.
Compatibility
LUNA FLEX is physically and biologically compatible with many registered pesticides and fertilizers or
micronutrients. However, it is known that many components, including crop protection products, fertilizers,
micronutrients, and spray adjuvants, may be present in a tank mix combination. There is potential for
adverse chemical reactions. It is impossible to determine physical, biological, and plant compatibility for
all scenarios that may be encountered; therefore, it is advised that users determine the chemical, physical,
biological and plant compatibility of such mixes prior to application on a broad commercial scale.
13
Order of Mixing
LUNA FLEX may be used with other pesticides, fertilizers, and micronutrients, as advised. The proper
mixing procedure for LUNA FLEX alone or in tank mix combinations with other pesticides is the following:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. While recirculating and with the agitator running, add any products in PVA bags (See Important Note).
Allow time for thorough mixing.
3. Continue to fill spray tank with water until 1/2 full.
4. Add any wettable powder (WP), water dispersible granule (WG/WDG) products, or flowable (FL/SC)
type products.
5. Allow enough time for thorough mixing of each product added to tank.
6. Add required amount of LUNA FLEX.
7. If applicable, add any remaining tank mix components: emulsifiable concentrates (EC), fertilizers
and micronutrients.
8. Fill spray tank to desired level and maintain constant agitation to ensure uniformity of spray mixture.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT use PVA packets in a tank mix with products that contain boron or release
free chlorine. The resultant reaction of PVA and boron or free chlorine is a plastic that is not soluble in
water or solvents.
