en.Wedoany.com Reported - BASF recently launched the new fungicide Balaya® in Australia, with the active ingredients mefentrifluconazole and pyraclostrobin. This product is designed to provide high-performance, long-lasting, broad-spectrum foliar disease control for growers of cereals, pulses, and canola.
Balaya® effectively controls major foliar diseases such as Septoria tritici blotch in wheat and net blotch in barley, providing up to seven weeks of residual protection and playing a crucial role in disease management during key crop growth stages.
Mefentrifluconazole, as a next-generation Group 3 fungicide technology, plays a key role in resistance management. It maintains stable efficacy against important diseases, including strains with reduced sensitivity to older Group 3 fungicides. Simultaneously, the pyraclostrobin component in Balaya® delivers crop health benefits, including reduced plant stress, enhanced leaf greenness, improved nitrogen uptake and water use efficiency, thereby supporting greater crop resilience and increasing yield potential.
Balaya® is specifically developed for use in cereals, pulses, and canola crops, helping growers maintain crop health while offering longer-lasting disease control compared to other fungicides. Furthermore, the product provides growers with greater rotational flexibility. It is ideally suited as the first foliar spray application following a Group 7 seed treatment, effectively controlling in-season diseases while reducing reliance on SDHI chemistry.
Balaya® is now registered by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) for the control of over 20 foliar diseases in wheat, barley, oats, canola, faba beans, and all other broadacre pulse crops. The product is now available through BASF's nationwide network of authorized distributors.
