SUMMIT AGRO'S REGEV HYBRID FUNGICIDE RECEIVES CALIFORNIA REGISTRATION
Source: Summit Agro news release

DURHAM, NC -- Summit Agro announced today that the California Department of Pesticide Regulation has approved the use of Regev hybrid fungicide in the state.

This action by the CDPR gives California growers a unique new tool in their battle against many fungal and bacterial diseases.

Regev is the first hybrid fungicide in that it unites the disease fighting power of botanical and conventional chemistries. Specifically, the product combines Tea Tree Extract (FRAC BM01) with difenoconazole (FRAC 3). This combination will provide California growers remarkable disease control from nine powerful mechanisms of activity, with only one MRL.

"Regev provides the trifecta of disease protection, which is preventative, curative and anti-sporulant control" said Dr. Eric Tedford, Summit Agro R&D manager. "The efficacy of Regev plus its ability to enhance plant growth and yield provides significant value to growers."

A distinguishing feature of Regev is the broad number of crops it can be used on. In California the first hybrid fungicide will be of particular use to grape and almond growers. Other labeled crops include brassica leafy vegetables, fruiting vegetables and berries. The full list of Regev fungicide's approved crops and diseases treated can be found on the downloadable label posted on the Summit Agro website: summitagro-usa.com.

California growers and PCAs wanting to learn more about Regev can view two videos posted to the Summit Agro website. The first video features Dr. Jim Adaskaveg, professor and plant pathologist in the microbiology and plant pathology department at UC Riverside, discussing the performance of Regev for Brown Rot Blossom Blight control in an almond test plot at UC Davis. Dr. Adaskaveg explains that Regev was one of the best treatments among 18 in his field trial https://bit.ly/regev-ca4 The other video has Dr. Tedford providing an overview of the science behind Regev and cites efficacy data for the fungicide (https://bit.ly/regev-ca2).
