•  Co-formulated with two active ingredients, Revysol® and F500, to control more than 20 key foliar diseases in cereals, pulses and canola  

• Developed to enhance crop fitness and provide an effective tool for growers facing disease resistance  

• Broad rotational fit gives grain and oilseed growers greater flexibility and long-lasting residual control 

BASF has launched Balaya® fungicide, a new dual-active solution that delivers high-performance, long‑lasting protection against a broad range of foliar diseases faced by growers of cereals, pulses and canola.  

Balaya combines the advanced Group 3 active Revysol®, with proven Group 11 active F500 to deliver effective control of key foliar diseases, including Septoria tritici blotch in wheat and net blotches in barley. This formulation provides up to seven weeks of residual protection, supporting disease control during critical crop growth stages. 

Revysol’s next‑generation Group 3 technology plays a key role in resistance management, enabling consistent performance against key diseases, including strains with reduced sensitivity to older Group 3 fungicides. Additionally, Balaya’s F500 component delivers crop health benefits, including reduced plant stress, enhanced greening and more efficient nitrogen uptake and water use, supporting more resilient crops with improved yield potential. 

“Foliar diseases continue to challenge growers across a range of crops,” said Parvana Wali, Head of Agricultural Solutions, BASF Australia & New Zealand. “Balaya has been developed to fit into cereal, pulse and canola crops, helping growers maintain crop health while providing extended residual disease control compared with alternative fungicides.”  

Balaya also provides growers with greater rotational flexibility and is well suited for use as a first foliar spray following a Group 7 seed treatment, while maintaining effective in‑crop disease control and reducing reliance on SDHI chemistry. 

Balaya has been registered by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) to control more than 20 foliar diseases across wheat, barley, oats, canola, faba beans and all other pulse crops grown in broadacre systems. It is now available through BASF’s authorised distributors nationwide.
