Reviton Herbicide Now Approved for Aerial Application

By HELM Agro US|April 30, 2022

HELM Agro US, Inc. has announced Reviton herbicide has received approval for aerial application according to the EPA. The Reviton label expansion will increase aerial spring burndown options and soybean plant back intervals which have been troublesome for many growers.

“Unpredictable spring weather can often narrow the window for preplant burndown applications. Now, aerial application of Reviton in a tank mix with glyphosate or glufosinate with a high-quality MSO will offer a timely alternative to ground application and provide consistent burndown control,” says James Whitehead, HELM agronomy leader.

In addition, the struggle to find available herbicides has left many farmers with fewer options to control weeds prior to planting.

“Herbicides that are typically available have proven to be in short supply, leaving growers fewer options to control tough weeds prior to planting,” says Whitehead. “Reviton can help fill the growing gap.”

In the label update, Reviton’s plant back interval for soybeans has been updated to 0 to 7-days, depending on soil type and rate.

Reviton controls over 50 broadleaf and grass weeds, including glyphosate-, ALS- and triazine-resistant species, and should be applied to actively growing weeds that are 5 inches or less.

Proven successful against many yield-robbing weeds, Reviton provides many benefits to growers, including:

  • Easy to handle formulation
  • Low use rates
  • 0-day plant back interval for corn and wheat
  • 0 to 7-day plant back interval for soybeans (depending on soil type and rate)
  • Complements glyphosate and glufosinate by broadening the spectrum of weed control in burndown situations

Always use a high-quality MSO with Reviton applications. Reviton’s active ingredient is Tergeo, a PPO-inhibitor herbicide with a WSAA Group 14 classification. When applied in combination with glyphosate or glufosinate, Reviton provides postemergence control of several tough-to-control weeds during the preplant burndown window.
