PROPERTIES OF AXIAL® Pro


AXIAL Pro is a foliar acting grass-weed killer for the control of wild oats, Italian rye-
grass and perennial rye-grass (from seed) in winter and spring wheat and winter and
spring barley. It is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee as ‘Group A’.

RESTRICTIONS
To avoid the build up of resistance do not apply products containing an ACCase
inhibitor herbicide more than twice to any crop. In addition, do not use this product in
mixture or sequence with any other product containing pinoxaden.
Do not use on oats
Do not spray crops under stress or to crops suffering from waterlogging, pest attack,
disease or frost
Do not spray crops undersown with grass mixtures
Rain within one hour after application may reduce grass-weed control
Do not allow spray to drift onto neighbouring crops of oats, ryegrass or maize
Avoid the use of hormone-containing herbicides in mixture or sequence with AXIAL
Pro. When AXIAL Pro is applied first, leave 7 days before applying hormone herbicides.
If hormone-containing products are applied first, leave 21 days before AXIAL Pro is
applied.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AXIAL Pro is a foliar acting grass-weed killer for the control of wild oats, Italian rye-
grass and perennial rye-grass (from seed) in winter and spring wheat and winter and
spring barley. It is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee as ‘Group A’.

WEEDS CONTROLLED
AXIAL Pro controls wild oats, Italian rye-grass and perennial rye-grass (from seed) in
winter and spring wheat and winter and spring barley.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
This product contains pinoxaden which is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the
Herbicide Resistance Action Committee as ‘Group A’.

Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes cultural methods
of control and does not use ACCase inhibitors as the sole chemical method of grass-
weed control.
2
Applying a second product containing an ACCase inhibitor to a crop will increase the
risk of resistance development; only use a second ACCase inhibitor to control different
weeds at a different timing.

Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. black-grass, wild-oats, and Italian rye-grass) have
developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for
preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have been
produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the
HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer.

Key aspects of the AXIAL Pro resistance management strategy are:

• Always follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistant
grass weeds.
• Do not use AXIAL Pro or any other ACCase inhibitor as the sole means of grass
weed control in successive crops.
• Use grassweed herbicides with different modes of action throughout the cropping
rotation.
• To reduce the risk of developing resistance, applications should be made to young,
actively growing weeds.
• Use tank/product mixes or sequences of herbicides with different modes of action
within individual crops, or successive crops.
• Monitor weed control effectiveness and investigate any odd patches of poor grass
weed control. If unexplained, contact your agronomist who may consider a
resistance test appropriate.
• Use crop rotation and other cultural control measures to prevent and manage
herbicide resistant grass weeds.
• Only apply AXIAL Pro once per crop.

AXIAL Pro has no residual activity. Optimum weed control will only be achieved when
all grass weeds have emerged.
The activity of AXIAL Pro is not affected by soil type, organic matter or straw residues.
AXIAL Pro does not control broad-leaved weeds and if these are present a specific
broad-leaved weed herbicide will be required.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Crops
AXIAL Pro can be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat and winter and
spring barley.

Timing
Spray in the autumn, winter or spring from two true leaves (GS12) to before flag leaf
sheath extending stage of the crop. Spraying should be done when the majority of
weeds have germinated, but before weed competition reduces yield.

Rates of use
Apply AXIAL Pro at 0.55 – 0.82 litres per hectare.

WEED CONTROL
Winter and spring wheat and winter and spring barley

Wild oats – apply 0.82 litres per hectare AXIAL Pro from 1st leaf unfolded to flag leaf
ligule visible. Where applications are made to wild oats no larger than the 2 tiller stage
(GS22) a dose of 0.55 litres per hectare may give acceptable levels of control.

Italian rye-grass and perennial rye-grass (from seed) – apply 0.82 litres per hectare
AXIAL Pro from 1st leaf unfolded to flag leaf ligule visible. Where applications are
made to ryegrasses no larger than the 2 tiller stage (GS22) a dose of 0.55 litres per
hectare may give acceptable levels of control. Always use as part of a weed control
programme including other products active against ryegrasses.

FOLLOWING CROPS
There are no restrictions on succeeding crops in a normal rotation. In the event of a
crop failure after application of AXIAL Pro, 4 weeks should elapse after application
before ryegrass, maize, oats or broad-leaved crops are planted as replacement crops.

MIXING AND SPRAYING


Mixing Procedure
Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume. Fill the
spray tank with half the required volume of water and begin agitation. Add the required
amount of AXIAL Pro to the spray tank and mix thoroughly. Add the rest of the water
and continue to agitate until spraying operation is complete.

Spray Quality
Apply AXIAL Pro using a conventional fan nozzle producing a spray quality at the finer
end of the medium range as defined by the British Crop Protection Council.
Do not use pre-orifice and air induction nozzles as these may give reduced control,
which in high weed populations can prove unacceptable. A spray pressure of 2-3 bars
is recommended.

Spray Volume
Spray AXIAL Pro in 100 - 400 litres of water per hectare.

TANK CLEANING PROCEDURE
Immediately after use, clean the spray equipment thoroughly. Drain the system
completely and rinse spray tank, boom and nozzles two to three times with clean water
until the foam and all traces of product have been removed.

This product is to be used only in accordance with the recommendations


and instructions given on the label provided with this pack. Use in any other
circumstances is entirely at user’s risk.
