DURHAM, NC (Jan. 14, 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.
White mold remains one of the most persistent and yield-limiting diseases in legume production, particularly under dense canopy conditions. Regev HBX brings to dry bean growers the same BioPowered™ Chemistry that has demonstrated strong performance against white mold in soybeans, now available on additional acres where disease pressure continues to challenge yield stability and profitability.
“This label expansion gives growers another strong option for protecting yield where white mold pressure is a constant concern,” said Eric Tedford, R&D Manager for Summit Agro USA. “Regev HBX has a proven track record in soybeans, and its multiple mechanisms of activity make it a valuable addition to disease management programs in dry beans.”
Regev HBX is part of Summit Agro USA’s BioPowered portfolio. 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, supporting resistance management and reduced chemical load.
“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. These solutions are designed to fit easily into existing programs and complement a wide range of production practices.”
In addition to the expanded crop label, Regev HBX is now offered in a 2.5-gallon pack size, providing a more user-friendly container that covers more acres per jug and improves handling and efficiency for applicators.
“Ease of use matters,” said Andy Rice, Row Crops Field Manager for Summit Agro USA. “The new pack size reflects how growers and applicators actually work—fewer containers, more acres and a smoother fit in the field.”
With this expansion, Regev HBX continues to grow as a versatile fungicide option across multiple crops, offering growers a practical, science-based approach to disease management.
