New Reviton Herbicide Receives Federal Registration
October 26, 2020 Reviton herbicide from HELM Agro US has received federal registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use beginning in 2021.
Reviton is a non-selective PPO-inhibitor herbicide containing Tergeo, a novel active ingredient, for use in preplant burndown and desiccation in cotton, field corn, soybeans and wheat.
In more than 700 North American product development trials and regulatory studies, Reviton demonstrated extremely promising performance ratings in burndown control for more than 50 broadleaf and grass weeds, including ALS-, triazine- and glyphosate-resistant species.
The product also features ultra-low use rate, tank mix compatibility, crop rotational flexibility and expanded use as a desiccant for cotton. Herbicidal effects occur within 24 hours after application.
Classified as a Group 14 herbicide, Reviton will be formulated as a suspension concentrate containing 2.83 pounds of active ingredient per gallon.
“At a time when few new herbicides are being brought to market, Reviton is truly breakthrough technology,” said Dave Schumacher, President of HELM Agro US. “With EPA approval granted ahead of the 2021 season, growers have a new product to add to their weed control toolbox which will allow them to be more successful when combatting troublesome weeds and resistance issues.”
Tergeo is a new molecule discovered by Farm Hannong, a Korean agrochemical company, and developed and registered for use in the United States by ISK Biosciences Corporation, a subsidiary of Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd. HELM Agro US is collaborating with ISK Biosciences Corporation to distribute Reviton for the U.S. crop protection market.
