Protection announced Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
registration of Axial® TBC herbicide to control grass and
broadleaf weeds in winter wheat, spring wheat and barley. State
registrations may still be pending. Please check with your state
regulatory agency to determine registration status.
“Axial TBC is the all-in-one grass and broadleaf herbicide
cereal growers have been looking for,” said Shawn Potter,
herbicide brand manager for Syngenta. “Growers know grass weeds
can rob yield potential. So, we’ve started with the best grass
control product for mixed annual grasses – Axial®. We know they
want all-in-one convenience, so we premixed it with florasulam
to control the core spectrum of broadleaf weeds.
“But we also realize that a field’s weed spectrum varies. So
we’ve developed
Axial TBC to give customers the flexibility to tailor their
broadleaf weed control solutions to their most problematic
weeds.”
Beyond convenience of combined grass-broadleaf weed control,
Axial TBC helps growers protect their cereal crop investments.
Not only can they tailor their broadleaf solutions, they can
also time weed control to best fit their farm. The wide
application window enables growers to better manage workloads
and resources, as well as work around weather challenges.
One-pass control saves trips across the field, which equates to
savings in fuel, labor and equipment wear and tear. In addition,
timely weed control stops weeds from interfering with crop
growth and enables the crop to more efficiently utilize
nutrients and moisture.
Because Axial TBC can be applied to both wheat and barley,
growers can easily move between crops without needing to clean
the tank and switch products. This also means no crop injury
risk from tank contamination as they move between their wheat
and barley crops.
“Axial TBC is applied at a single use rate,” explained Don
Porter, herbicide technical brand manager for Syngenta. “This
avoids any confusion about what rate growers need to apply.
Axial TBC also has excellent crop safety on wheat and barley and
provides growers with rotational crop flexibility the following
growing season.”
