Axial One EC, 5 liters

Axial is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the control of several grass weed species in all varieties of spring wheat , winter wheat, and barley. It is rapidly absorbed by weed foliage and translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems where  it inhibits the acetyl CoA carboxylase enzyme. Susceptible weed species generally stop growing within 48 hours of treatment, turn yellow within one to three weeks, and are completely controlled within three to five weeks. Level and rate of control depend on weed species, growing conditions, crop competition, and coverage.

Thorough spray coverage of target weeds is essential for consistent control.Although this product does not control broadleaf weeds, it can be tank mixed with a wide range of broadleaf herbicides to provide broad-spectrum one-pass weed control. It can also be tank mixed with Tilt® Fungicide, Quilt®Fungicide, Warrior II with Zeon Technology®, and Karate® with Zeon Technology™. See the section entitled Tank Mixes of Axial with Broadleaf Weed Herbicides, Fungicides, Insecticides and Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizers.

For optimum results, apply it first and allow at least 4 days after application before applying these herbicides sequentially.Weeds Controlled: green foxtail, yellow foxtail, giant foxtail, wild oat, volunteer oat, Persian darnel, Italian (annual) ryegrass, barnyardgrass, canarygrass, wild proso millet, and windgrass.

Timing of Application

Apply  Axial to  all varieties  of spring wheat,  winter wheat, and barley  from the 2-leaf stage to pre-boot stage.

Precaution: Do not apply to a crop that is stressed by conditions such as frost, low fertility, drought, flooding,  disease damage, or insect damage, as crop injury may result.When tank mixing with a broadleaf herbicide, insecticide  or fungicide, always refer to the label of the tank-mix partner prior to use.For optimum results, apply this product to actively growing weeds. An early application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weed control following application of this herbicide alone or in combination with broadleaf herbicides can be reduced or delayed under conditions of stress, such as drought, heat, insufficient  fertility, flooding, and prolonged cool temperatures. Grass escapes or re-tillering may occur if application is made during prolonged conditions of stress. Optimum weed control will be obtained if application of this product is delayed until the conditions of stress have ended and weeds are once again actively growing. Weeds emerging after the application will not be controlled.

Ground Applications

Water Volume – Use a dilution rate of 5–10 gals. of water per acre. Use 10 gals. of water per acre under dry conditions  or dense weed populations. Dilution rates of greater than 10 gals. of water per acre should be avoided as  reduced grass control may occur.

Spray  Nozzles  – 80° or  110° flat fan  nozzles are recommended  for optimum spray coverage.  Nozzles must be uniformly spaced along the boom to provide accurate and uniform coverage. Point the nozzles forward in the direction  of travel at an angle of 45° for optimum coverage of grass weeds. Follow the nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for pressure and screens. Do not use flood or hollow cone type nozzles.

Screens – Use a screen or strainer with 16-mesh or coarser on the suction side of the pump. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line unless using a roller or piston pump. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and at the nozzles.

Pressure – 35-40 psi at the nozzles. Lower pressure may be used with extended range or low pressure nozzles.

Pump – Must have capacity to maintain pressure (35-40 psi) and to maintain the product suspension through tank agitation. A centrifugal pump is recommended with an agitation rate of 20 gals./minute/100 gals. tank size. Agitation must be maintained during mixing and spraying.

Pesticide Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store near seeds, fertilizers, or foodstuffs.

Pesticide Disposal

Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling if available. Triple rinse container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.
