Rapid and lasting protection:

Belanty brings a new dimension to Group 3 fungicide chemistry, using molecular flexibility to achieve very robust disease control. New DMI chemistry with much stronger cellular binding than other DMIs. Belanty delivers rapid and lasting protection, and a favourable residue profile providing a flexible application window.

Key benefits

  • Class-leading, flexible control of key diseases in nut, fruit and vegetable crops
  • More adaptable to enzyme pocket mutations that cause sensitivity shifts in other DMI’s
  • Exceptionally strong cellular binding delivers robust efficacy at low application rates
  • Approved active ingredient for EU market
  • Ideal complementary fungicide used in spray programs that also include Merivon
  •  Rapid uptake and lasting residual protection

How it works

Although Belanty is classified as a Group 3 fungicide, its hybrid ‘isopropanol-azole’ molecule is the first of its type and unique among demethylation inhibitors (DMIs).

The triazole ‘head’ of the molecule sits on the ‘neck’ of a slim isopropanol unit. That isopropanol component folds into a hook shape as the molecule switches from its unbound conformation to the bound one and docks with its target enzyme.

The formulation of the Belanty molecule promotes rapid uptake and enables it to bind much more strongly than other triazoles to the target enzyme: C 14-demethylase.

Brendan Cameron Grape Grower

Crop protection is vitally important for us. Our income depends on getting it right.

Now that I’ve seen how it works, if we do get a pressure year for powdery mildew in grapes, I can be confident recommending at least one Belanty treatment as part of a fungicide program.

Belanty has a good fit for our conditions. Powdery mildew is always an issue here, and chardonnay is highly susceptible.

What the winery says we can use is all we’re interested in. If overseas countries say we can’t use certain products, we just don’t use them.

By December we had very visible black spot infection on those trees. We killed it with Belanty. You could definitely see that it had worked.
