Registration brings FireHawk’s proprietary, highly concentrated formulation to California’s high-value crop growers, municipalities, and landscape professionals.
PASADENA, Calif. — Nov. 10, 2026 — FireHawk Bioherbicide today announced that FireHawk Bioherbicide Super Concentrate, EPA Reg. No. 93740-7, has received registration from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR). The registration opens the company’s key target market, bringing a new option for weed and vegetation management to the state’s growers and landcare professionals.
California is central to FireHawk’s growth strategy. Its high-value crop production, environmental priorities, and demanding regulatory environment make the state a strategic focus for the company’s nature-identical, fatty acid-based technology.
A New Option for California’s High-Value Agriculture
California growers manage a diverse range of high-value crops, including almonds, walnuts, pistachios, citrus, grapes, avocados, fruits, and vegetables. Protecting productivity while managing labor, operating costs, and long-term land stewardship makes effective vegetation management essential.
FireHawk brings an additional tool for weed and vegetation management to these operations, with non-selective contact activity for use according to label directions.
The product offers both regenerative and conventional growers another option for integrating targeted weed control into their management programs.
FireHawk Super Concentrate combines 85.26% nonanoic acid, a nature-identical fatty acid, with proprietary, patent-protected formulation and delivery technology designed to make the active ingredient bioavailable for contact weed control. It acts on contacted green plant tissue, with visible effects on most weeds occurring within hours under suitable conditions.
“California is our key target market, not simply another state in our expansion,” said Dr. Frank Glatz, Managing Director of Contact BioSolutions, creator of FireHawk. “Its growers are implementing world-leading regenerative agriculture practices, and we are honored to be part of that development. Our formulation technology gives regenerative and conventional growers another tool as they balance productivity, operational demands, and responsible land stewardship.”
Supporting California’s Communities and Landscapes
Beyond agriculture, California’s registration brings FireHawk to professionals managing vegetation in the places where people live, work, and gather. Municipalities, parks departments, school districts, landscape companies, and HOA managers can use the product for label-approved landscape, recreational, industrial, and public-area applications.
“Communities are asking for change, and the professionals maintaining those spaces need practical solutions that deliver results,” said Kathleen Hallal, VP Landcare and Municipalities. “California’s registration gives those professionals another option for managing weeds in their communities.”
Concentrated Technology. Flexible Applications.
The updated label changes the product’s signal word from “WARNING” to “CAUTION.” Users must follow all label precautions, application directions, and re-entry requirements. Key product features include:
- Contact activity: Broad-spectrum control of actively growing annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, grasses, and many mosses.
- Flexible uses: Label-approved agricultural, landscape, commercial, and non-crop applications.
- Integrated management: An additional tool for vegetation management programs, including those addressing herbicide-resistant weeds; no residual weed control.
- Concentrate efficiency: Dilution with water at label-directed rates from 1.5% to 4.8%, depending on the application and target vegetation.
