This action by the EPA gives growers two new tools to use in their fruit orchards to battle fungal and bacterial disease

US based Summit Agro announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved expansion of the use of Regev and Timorex ACT fungicides to both stone and pome fruit production.

This action by the EPA gives growers two new tools to use in their fruit orchards to battle fungal and bacterial disease. Both these fungicides benefit from the activity of Tea Tree Extract (FRAC BM 01).

Regev is the first hybrid fungicide in that it unites the disease fighting power of botanical and conventional chemistries. The product combines Tea Tree Extract with difenoconazole (FRAC 3).

Timorex ACT is an OMRI-listed fungicide that only contains Tea Tree Extract making it a purely organic formulation. It also can be used as an ideal tank-mix partner for growers looking to boost the performance of their organic or conventional fungicide program.

“Stone and pome fruit growers will find Regev delivers remarkable control of scab,” said Eric Tedford, Summit Agro R&D manager. “This control extends to both the leaf and the fruit even at low rates.”

Tedford added that Timorex ACT is an ideal organic solution for growers looking for powdery mildew control.

Tedford explained, “Both Regev and Timorex ACT provide the trifecta of disease protection – preventative, curative and anti-sporulant control – through eight mechanisms of activity. These are unique aspects that fruit growers will benefit from.”

Sumitomo Corporation, whose agribusiness companies specialise in the development and distribution of advanced crop protection products, fertilizers and seeds, has developed its new corporate identity. The goal is to ensure a unified global presence, including national subsidiaries that operate under different names for naming rights reasons, but with then unified and renewed Group logo and its mission / vision.

Sumitomo Corporation has been engaged in trading and wholesaling of agricultural chemicals for more than 40 years, currently they established a wide-area four-base system centered on Summit Agro International in Asia, Sumi Agro Europe in Europe, Summit Agro South America in South America, and Summit Agro USA / Summit Agro Mexico in North and Central America and are further promoting an efficient global purchasing system and information sharing on the agricultural environment and market.

SA Group holds a global conference once every three years where employees from all over the world gather. The creation of the global brand identity was based on the ideas expressed by the employees at the conference. In 2020, the Summit Agro Group will also launch an organization called Global Business Development (GBD) to accelerate global collaboration in areas such as lifecycle management of existing products and development of bio-agricultural chemicals in order to expand the Group’s overall portfolio.

The new logo designs a circular image representing our global presence to work in harmony with growers all over the world. The different tones of orange evoking our works for the blight future like shinning Sun, and the green leaf, which reflects life, underlines our focus on agriculture, as well as our daily commitment to the environment and sustainable products for the growers and society benefits.

Through the combination of tea tree oil and difenoconazole, REGEV HBX provides eight mechanisms of activity against fungal and bacterial plant pathogens.

Summit Agro USA has announced the introduction of REGEV HBX hybrid fungicide. This unique formulation brings new disease fighting power to growers of soybeans, rice and pecans. REGEV HBX benefits from the combination of tea tree oil, a botanical ingredient, with a conventional fungicide (difenoconazole).

“We recognized gaps in the performance of existing fungicides in these three crops, which led us to create this specially formulated hybrid product,” said Dr. Eric Tedford, R&D manager for Summit Agro.

Dr. Tedford cited trial data showing the effectiveness of REGEV HBX against frogeye leaf spot and Asian soybean rust on soybeans. Since there are reports of widespread resistance to group 11 fungicides, it is recommended to rotate two to three effective classes of fungicides. REGEV HBX is listed as FRAC BM 01 (tea tree oil) and FRAC 3 (difenoconazole).

For rice, similarly successful trials demonstrated the efficacy of REGEV HBX against rice blast. Based on the trial data, pecan growers will be impressed by how well REGEV HBX performs on pecan scab.

Through the combination of tea tree oil and difenoconazole, REGEV HBX provides eight mechanisms of activity against fungal and bacterial plant pathogens to deliver remarkable disease control with only one MRL. REGEV HBX provides significant value to soybean, rice and pecan growers due to its preventative and curative activity, efficacy against a broad spectrum of bacterial and fungal diseases, and the ability to enhance plant growth and yield. These attributes make REGEV HBX an important component in the disease management and control programs for these crops.
