Product information
GENERAL INFORMATION
AXIAL is a foliar acting grass-weed killer for the control of wild oats, Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass (from seed) in winter and spring wheat and winter and spring barley. It is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified as ‘Group A’. AXIAL also controls blackgrass in winter and spring barley as part of an integrated control strategy.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
It controls wild oats, Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass (from seed) in winter and spring wheat and winter and spring barley. For control of black-grass in winter and spring barley, AXIAL must be used as part of an integrated control programme, for example following a pre-emergence treatment.
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Crops
AXIAL 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 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 this product at 0.3-0.6 litres per hectare, always in mixture with ADIGOR adjuvant. The dose rate of product depends on target grass species and season.
Winter and spring wheat and winter and spring barley Wild oats – apply 0.3 litres per hectare from 1st leaf unfolded to flag leaf ligule visible.
Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass (from seed) – apply 0.45 litres per hectare from 1st leaf unfolded to flag leaf ligule visible. Where applications are made to ryegrasses no larger than the 2 tiller stage a dose of 0.3 litres per hectare may give acceptable levels of control. Always use as part of a weed control programme including other products active against ryegrasses.
Black grass – apply 0.45 litres per hectare up to and including 31st December, or 0.6 litres per hectare from 1st January up to the 7 tiller stage. Always use in sequence with other products with different modes of action that are active against blackgrass and as part of an integrated weed control programme.
Use of adjuvants
AXIAL must always be used with ADIGOR adjuvant. The adjuvant should be applied at 0.5%
concentration of spray volume, however this may increase to a maximum concentration of 1% of the spray volume where water volumes lower than 200 litres/ha are used.
FOLLOWING CROPS
There are no restrictions on succeeding crops in a normal rotation.
In the event of a crop failure after application of this product, 4 weeks should elapse after application before rye-grass, 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 product to the spray tank and allow to disperse before adding any other product. Add the rest of the water and continue to agitate the mixture thoroughly. Always agitate during spraying.
Spray Quality
Apply it using a conventional fan nozzle producing a spray quality at the finer end of the medium range. 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.
SprayVolume
Spray AXIAL in 100 - 400 litres of water per hectare.
