Summit Agro USA Announces Expanded Label for Regev HBX BioPowered Fungicide
USA — January 21, 2026
Summit Agro USA today announced U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approval of an expanded label for Regev HBX BioPowered Fungicide, extending its use to dry edible beans, dried shelled peas and chickpeas. The expansion provides growers of dry beans and shelled peas with an additional option to manage white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) and other economically important diseases in these crops.
Regev HBX brings to dry bean growers the same “BioPowered Chemistry” that has demonstrated strong performance against white mold in soybeans. By uniting tea tree extract and difenoconazole, Regev HBX delivers preventive, curative, and anti-sporulant control with nine mechanisms of activity and only one MRL.
- Target Disease: Strong performance against White Mold, a persistent yield-limiting disease.
- Hybrid Technology: Combines biological tea tree extract with synthetic difenoconazole for resistance management.
- New Packaging: Now available in a 2.5-gallon pack size for improved handling and efficiency.
“BioPowered Chemistry represents the next step in crop protection and field health,” said Justin Gayliard, CEO of Summit Agro USA. “It leverages the unique benefits of biologically derived active ingredients and reinforces them with the exceptional strength of synthetic actives, delivering the consistency, performance, and convenience growers expect.”
The new pack size was developed in direct response to grower feedback. “Ease of use matters,” said Andy Rice, Row Crops Field Manager. “The new pack size reflects how growers and applicators actually work—fewer containers, more acres, and a smoother fit in the field.”
