Growers battling the nightmare of persistent weeds have a new reason to breathe easier. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency expanded the label for Reviton®, enabling its use across a broader range of crops.

“Reviton’s latest approval opens the door to more pre-plant burndown and harvest aid flexibility,” says Wade Firestone, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at HELM Crop Solutions. “Growers can expect the same rapid, broad-spectrum weed control they trust—now with the ability to apply it in more cropping systems than ever before.”

In addition to field corn, cotton, soybeans and wheat, Reviton is now approved for use on the following crops:

• Barley
• Canola
• Corn (popcorn, sweet)
• Grain sorghum (milo)
• Pulse crops (dry peas)
• Peanuts

The label changes also include crucial information on crop rotation intervals.  These improved planting intervals enable growers to maximize the effectiveness of Reviton while allowing them to make timely applications closer to planting for more flexibility.   

This chart illustrates the flexibility of Reviton in herbicide control programs.

Reviton lays the groundwork for burndown programs by controlling or suppressing more than 50 broadleaf and grass weeds, including ALS-, triazine- and glyphosate-resistant species. Reviton’s novel PPO active ingredient and easy-to-use formulation make it a strong choice to anchor burndown programs while offering crop rotation flexibility and serving as a valuable tool in desiccant and defoliant programs.

This tool also delivers targeted, effective weed control during cotton layby through hooded, post-directed applications. Field trials across the cotton belt demonstrate that Reviton offers rapid, consistent control of broadleaf weeds, with visible effects appearing within 24-48 hours and strong crop safety and efficacy confirmed through harvest.

Reviton features:

• Broad-spectrum weed control combined with user safety and convenience.
• Power against tough-to-control weeds, like henbit, volunteer corn and giant ragweed, with an applicator-friendly profile for growers.
• Easy mixing with other herbicides for extended weed control, multiple modes of action for resistance management and reduced plant back restrictions.
• A low use rate for greater convenience, flexibility and efficiency while reducing container size.

Additionally, it provides growers with the confidence that their crops are free from injury and potential yield loss when used according to the product label.


Reviton not only strengthens existing weed control systems, but it’s also a helpful instrument to manage herbicide-resistant weeds. Whenever you use an herbicide, you’re selecting for resistance; however, this tool can help growers lower their risk. 

That’s because Reviton’s active ingredient, Tergeo^®, is a group 14 PPO inhibitor that has never been used before in the U.S. And, unlike most other PPO inhibitors, Reviton has a unique ability to control grass species like giant and green foxtail.

Adding Reviton to your burndown program can help reduce selection pressure on dicamba, 2,4-D and even glyphosate.

Keep in mind that while Reviton is a friendly tank mix partner with other common herbicides, it’s best practice to conduct a jar test to assess compatibility before application. 

Reviton should be applied to actively growing weeds 5 inches or less. Application to weeds greater than 5 inches, stressed, mown or grazed may result in unacceptable control.
