New herbicide nearing registration

Helm Agro said it is nearing registration of Reviton, a new chemical to klll vegetation in preparation for seeding.

It contains a new novel active ingredient, Tergeo, which is the result of a joint development partnership with Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha (ISK), a Japanese agrochemical company. 

The burndown/pre-emerge product has been part of more than 700 North American product development trials and regulatory studies, and 2020 is the third year Helm has been developing the product in conjunction with ISK for the U.S. market.

Helm said it expects a decision soon from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and aims to have Reviton on the market this fall.
