EPA Approves New Restricted Entry Interval For Revus

Syngenta Crop Protection announced that EPA has approved a shorter Restricted Entry Interval (REI) for Revus fungicide.
Revus, which previously required an REI of 12 hours, now has an REI of four hours, offering greater flexibility.

Revus, which was introduced in February 2008, contains the active ingredient mandipropamid, the first mandelamide fungicide on the market, and targets oomycete fungi, including the pathogens that cause Phytophthora blight, late blight, and downy mildews. Revus is labeled for use on grapes and vegetables, including bulb, fruiting, leafy and brassica vegetables, as well as cucurbits.

A mandelamide fungicide, Revus is a member of the carboxylic acid amide (CAA) class of chemistry, part of the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee’s Group 40. Members of the CAA class exhibit no cross-resistance to other classes of fungi.Product used with the shorter REI must carry a label designating a four-hour REI.
