AMVAC Acquires U.S. Rights to Envoke Herbicide

By Cotton Grower Staff|May 24, 2021

AMVAC Chemical Corporation (AMVAC) has entered into agreements to acquire end-use product registrations and trademarks for Envoke herbicide in the United States from Syngenta Crop Protection.

The agreement is effective July 1, 2021. Syngenta and AMVAC will work together over the next several months until the U.S. EPA registration has officially transferred to facilitate an orderly and quality customer service transition in all domestic geographies. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Envoke is an HRAC/WSSA Group 2 post-emergent herbicide for use in cotton, sugarcane, and transplanted tomatoes for control of certain broadleaf weeds, sedges and grass weeds. It provides effective control of many troublesome weed species, including many of those missed by glyphosate. Envoke is an ideal tank-mix partner for a broad spectrum of control and provides cost-saving growth regulator effect, allowing plants to focus energy on fruit development.

“The addition of Envoke allows AMVAC to strengthen our portfolio in core crops and provide growers with unique herbicide solutions for management of difficult to control weeds,” said Scott Hendrix, AMVAC Senior Vice President, U.S. and Canada Crop Sales and Application Technology. “This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to these key markets and complements our existing technologies to better serve our customers.”
