Pinoxaden remains a valuable tool for the management of wild oats, phalaris and annual ryegrass in wheat and barley crops, with AXIAL® Xtra herbicide being the leading choice in terms of efficacy and ease of use.
AXIAL® Xtra herbicide has been proven to perform better in more marginal conditions or where target site resistance exists to other Group 1(A) herbicides, thanks to the Syngenta product’s superior uptake within target weeds.
AXIAL® Xtra herbicide is also the dependable choice in many real-world conditions, where problems can easily arise, saving users time and money in the long run.
Here’s six reasons to consider choosing AXIAL® Xtra herbicide over a generic pinoxaden:
- AXIAL® Xtra is formulated for all water types. Laboratory tests have proven that AXIAL® Xtra mixes well in hard water, as well as cold water. This means it will stay suspended in a spray tank, without causing nozzle blockages.
- A low-foaming formulation, AXIAL® Xtra is not prone to tank mixing difficulty, saving time when mixing compatible products, and fewer delays to spraying.
- Extensive experience with AXIAL® Xtra has shown that it has stable shelf life. Unlike some other formulations, AXIAL® Xtra doesn’t crystalise during storage or settle out. So, if your spray program changes throughout the season, or you’re holding partially used drums from one season to the next, users will have fewer worries.
- AXIAL® Xtra has an optimised, built in adjuvant. Extensive Syngenta trials have found superior efficacy thanks to the optimisation of the adjuvant loading. This results in efficient dispersion onto target weed leaves and better uptake, for a faster brownout.
- AXIAL® Xtra includes a proven safener developed by Syngenta, which provides greater peace of mind when it comes to crop safety in wheat and barley.
- Syngenta was the first to bring pinoxaden to market, as AXIAL®, now sold in countries around the world. Being the first, Syngenta has an unrivalled understanding of this active ingredient and has invested more time than anyone ensuring that users can manage grass weeds with maximum efficacy.
AXIAL® Xtra is also an excellent alternative to fop herbicides such as fenoxaprop. Being structurally different to FOPs, AXIAL® Xtra is able to overcome FOP target site and metabolism resistance.
