Rovensa Next Launches Two New Biosolutions in North America
Rovensa Next, the global leader in biosolutions for agriculture, is proud to announce the launch of TYPHOON® and GALACTEK®, two innovative agricultural biosolutions for the North America market. These innovations reinforce the company’s commitment to sustainable crop production as part of its Biosolutionize Agriculture campaign, a strategic initiative focused on empowering growers with effective, science-driven integrated biosolution strategies that enhance performance, profitability, resilience, and environmental stewardship.
“Growers today need biosolutions that deliver measurable results to boost their business,” said Chuck Broughton, Head of North America at Rovensa Next. “The launch of TYPHOON and GALACTEK expands our portfolio with products that optimize crop health, support integrated crop management systems across North America, and deliver proven, consistent performance across multiple crops and growing conditions.”
TYPHOON – Broad-spectrum biofungicide for disease management
TYPHOON is a contact fungicide for field and greenhouse use, effectively controlling a range of highly challenging diseases, such as Botrytis, Downy Mildew, Alternaria and Phytophthora. TYPHOON is ideal for disease resistance management as it has no restricted entry interval (REI) or pre-harvest interval (PHI). It can be rotated with other fungicides and used late in the season right up to harvest.
TYPHOON is a broad-spectrum, FIFRA section 25b contact fungicide containing potassium sorbate. It is designed to be applied with an acidifier due to its high pH for optimal effectiveness. It has no restricted entry interval (REI) or pre-harvest interval (PHI), making it a convenient option for growers.
TYPHOON is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum contact fungicide that effectively controls powdery mildew and other key diseases at 50–100 oz/A, supporting healthier canopies and improving yield potential in crops such as watermelon. Integrated biosolutions programs have shown that pairing TYPHOON with PREV AM enhances pest and disease suppression, including control of insecticide-resistant Type Q biotype whiteflies, through a physical mode of action that reduces resistance risk. When TYPHOON was used in combination programs with nutritional technologies such as NANOCAL, crops maintained cleaner foliage and remained more productive under stress, positioning TYPHOON as a reliable, performance-driven tool for maintaining crop quality during critical growth periods.
GALACTEK – Advanced soil & root performance enhancer
GALACTEK is a high-efficiency, ultra-low-use-rate, plant-beneficial substance featuring Metabol-8 Technology, combined with a proprietary blend of low-molecular-weight organic acids and a humectant. It enhances nutrient availability in soil, improves root development and boosts nutrient uptake, while maximizing metabolic efficiency, ensuring plant resilience and improving performance under stressful conditions.
GALACTEK contains a blend of low-molecular-weight organic acids and a humectant. It is registered as a soil amendment and can be applied to soil or foliage with excellent tank-mix compatibility.
GALACTEK is a breakthrough biosolution designed to deliver proven, consistent improvements in crop quality and yield by enhancing nutrient availability, moisture retention, and root development. In processing tomatoes, GALACTEK increased perfect fruit from 80.34% to 87.5%, raised paid tons from 62.5 to 67.0 tons/A, and boosted sugar content from 3.5% to 4.5%. In corn, trials across New York repeatedly showed 3–4 bu/A yield gains, with some fields reaching +7 bu/A under stress conditions, supported by visibly stronger root systems and improved nutrient uptake. These consistent outcomes position GALACTEK as a highly efficient, ultra low use rate solution for boosting crop resilience and productivity.
Biosolutions’ strategies to enhance crop performance
TYPHOON and GALACTEK play complementary roles that enhance crop performance during key stages as part of Rovensa Next’s comprehensive biosolution strategy for watermelons. GALACTEK, applied at 3 oz/A at flower initiation and at two 30 day intervals, supports plant vigor by improving nutrient availability, moisture retention, and root health. TYPHOON, applied at 50–100 oz/A, provides fast, broad spectrum protection against powdery mildew to help maintain clean, productive canopies during flowering and fruit fill. These technologies reinforce plant resilience and contribute to stronger marketable yields as part of a biosolutions strategy that also includes ORO RZ, ENCOURAGE NANOCAL, IGNEOUS, and PREV AM.
Biosolutionize Agriculture: a campaign for next-level grower support
The launch of TYPHOON and GALACTEK marks an important milestone in the Biosolutionize Agriculture campaign, as part of Rovensa Next North America’s commitment to bringing science-backed, biosolutions to growers. Through this campaign, Rovensa Next emphasizes practical, integrated biosolution strategies that reduce reliance on conventional chemistries, enhance crop performance, and support environmental health across agricultural landscapes.
Growers and advisors are encouraged to consult local Rovensa Next representatives for agronomic support, integration strategies, and product trial data relevant to their crops and regions.
