Next-Generation Weed Control Starts Now
Introducing Reviton™, a non-selective herbicide with a new proprietary active ingredient for preplant burndown of broadleaf and grass weeds in corn, cotton, soybeans and wheat.
A next-generation weed control tool from HELM Agro US, Reviton provides fast and effective early-season burndown to prepare fields for the cleanest start possible while protecting emerging crops against the threat of resistant weed competition.

In more than 700 North American product development trials and regulatory studies, Reviton has demonstrated extremely high-performance ratings in burndown efficacy for more than 50 broadleaf and grass weeds, including ALS, triazine and glyphosate-resistant species.
Delivering a more complete package for what growers need in an early-season burndown solution, product features of the new Reviton include an ultra-low use rate, tank mix compatibility, crop rotational and plant-back flexibility, and expanded use as a desiccant for cotton.
According to HELM, Reviton is also fast-acting with foliar effects occurring within 24 hours after application.
Novel Active Ingredient
“Reviton is a unique product. It is innovative from the standpoint that it has a new active ingredient that has never been registered in the U.S.,” says James Whitehead, Agronomy Leader for HELM Agro US.
“Reviton’s novel active ingredient is called Tergeo™, which is a PPO herbicide with a Group 14 classification,” he says. “While most PPO herbicides only control broadleaves with burning of grass weeds, Reviton has the ability to control both broadleaves and grasses.”
At a time when few new molecules are being discovered, Whitehead says Reviton will be an important tool for helping growers tackle resistance.
“With a new active ingredient, Reviton allows growers to take the selection pressure off of chemistries like 2,4-D and dicamba while strengthening their existing integrated weed control systems for sustainable resistance management,” he adds.
Strong Start to the Season
A preeminent new tool for the industry, Reviton rapidly eliminates troublesome weed infestations resulting in a stronger clean start foundation that helps growers maximize yield potential and return on investment.
Setting the stage for season-long success, fields treated with Reviton benefit from an earlier planting window and improved springtime efficiency while minimizing the risk of yield loss due to resistance.
In field trials, the active ingredient in Reviton has shown no signs of crop injury and yield loss due to phytotoxicity, pH restrictions and carryover when used according to label guidelines.
An excellent fit for reduced- and no-till production systems, Reviton is formulated as a suspension concentrate containing 2.83 pounds of active ingredient per gallon.
Reviton is to be used as a burndown (applied preplant or preemergence) ahead of crop planting. The recommended application method is a broadcast spray using conventional low-pressure ground sprayer equipment. Reviton’s application rate is 1 to 3 fluid ounces per acre.
