PRODUCT INFORMATION Axial XL Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the control of several grass weed species in all varieties of spring wheat (excluding durum), winter wheat, and barley. -6- Axial XL Herbicide is rapidly absorbed by weed foliage and translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems where it inhibits the acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) 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 Axial XL Herbicide 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 XL Herbicide with Broadleaf Weed Herbicides, Fungicides, Insecticides and Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizers. Herbicides not listed on this label for tank mixing with Axial XL Herbicide may be applied sequentially. For optimum results, apply Axial XL Herbicide first and allow at least 4 days after application of Axial XL Herbicide before applying these herbicides sequentially. Weeds Controlled Axial XL Herbicide controls green foxtail, yellow foxtail, giant foxtail, wild oat, volunteer oat, Persian darnel, Italian (annual) ryegrass, barnyardgrass, canarygrass, wild proso millet, and windgrass. Use Rates Apply the specified rate of Axial XL Herbicide using ground or aerial equipment, in a minimum of 5 gal. of water per acre (see Ground and Aerial Application Procedures section for additional information). WEEDS CONTROLLED A USE RATE Wild oat, Avena fatua Volunteer oat, Avena sativa Green foxtail, Setaria viridis Yellow foxtail, Setaria glauca Giant foxtail, Setaria faberi Italian (annual) ryegrass, Lolium multiflorum Persian darnel, Lolium persicum Barnyardgrass, Echinochloa crus-galli Canarygrass, Phalaris spp. Wild proso millet, Panicum miliaceum Wind grass, Apera spp. Axial XL Herbicide 16.4 fl. oz./A AWhen tank mixing broadleaf herbicides, refer to Tank Mixes of Axial XL Herbicide with Broadleaf Weed Herbicides, Fungicides, Insecticides and Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizers section for exceptions and additional information on weeds controlled. -7- Resistance Management PINOXADEN GROUP 1 HERBICIDE For resistance management, Axial Herbicide is a Group 1 herbicide (ACCase-inhibitor mode of action). Some naturally occurring grass weed populations have been identified as resistant to herbicides with the ACCase-inhibitor mode of action. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Axial Herbicide and other Group 1 herbicides. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides in the same field or lower than labeled use rates, may result in weed control failures. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Syngenta representative and/or agricultural advisor for assistance. Principles of Herbicide Resistant Weed Management Scout and know your field x Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all weeds present. x Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct timing for the weeds present in the field. Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity x Use diversified management tactics including cover crops, mechanical weed control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate. Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean x Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness. x Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for control of emerged weeds. x Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior to leaving fields. Difficult to control weeds x Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different management practices. x Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, for example a broad spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more -8- postemergence herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action effective on the target weeds in sequential applications. DO NOT overuse the technology x DO NOT use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the difficult to control weeds. Scout and inspect fields following application x Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders. x Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective. x Suspected- herbicide resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators • Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; • A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and • Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. x Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production. Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest x DO NOT allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures for example tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed production. Resistant weeds Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent to determine if weeds resistant to the mode of action contained in this product are present in your area. Premixes are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredients in this product. If resistant biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the labeled timing, and tank-mix with an additional different mode of action product so there are multiple effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed. Rotational Crop Restrictions The following crops may be planted at the specified interval following application of Axial XL Herbicide. -9- Crop Rotational Interval Wheat (including Durum) and Barley 0 days Leafy and Root Crops 30 da ys Other Cereal Grains and All Other Crops 90 da ys APPLICATION PROCEDURES Timing of Application Apply Axial XL Herbicide to all varieties of spring wheat (excluding durum), winter wheat, and barley from the 2-leaf stage to pre-boot stage. Refer to the Crop Use Directions section for grazing and harvest restrictions. 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 Axial XL Herbicide to actively growing weeds. An early application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weed control following application of Axial XL 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 Axial XL Herbicide is delayed until the conditions of stress have ended and weeds are once again actively growing. Weeds emerging after Axial XL Herbicide application will not be controlled. TIMING OF APPLICATION TO WEEDS Weed Leaves on Main Stem Tillers Persian Darnel Volunteer Oat Wild Oat 1 to 6-leaf stage on main stem Prior to emergence of the 4 th tiller. Giant Foxtail Green Foxtail Yellow Foxtail Italian (Annual) Ryegrass Barnyardgrass Canarygrass Wild Proso Millet Wind grass 1 to 5-leaf stage on main stem For optimum control, apply prior to emergence of the 3 rd tiller and while weeds are actively growing. -10- Rainfastness Axial XL Herbicide applied alone is not affected by rain falling 30 minutes or more after application. MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Aerial Applications: x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safet y. x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). x If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind ed ge of the field. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-win g aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. x Do not apply during ground level temperature inversions. Ground Boom Applications: x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. -11- x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. -12- Sensitive Areas This pesticide may only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas, e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, non-target plants is minimal, (i.e., when the wind is blowing away from the sensitive area.) Avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) of Axial XL Herbicide with crops other than those specified for treatment on this label, since injury may occur. Chemigation DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. MIXING PROCEDURES Mixing Instructions 1. Clean spray tank and half fill with clean wate r. Start agitation or bypass system. 2. If a broadleaf herbicide is to be used, add the product FIRST, prior to adding Axial XL Herbicide and agitate for 2-3 minutes. 3. Add correct amount of Axial XL Herbicide and agitate for 2-3 minutes. 4. Add remainder of water and then maintain constant agitation. 5. After any break in spraying operations, agitate thoroughly before spraying again. 6. Use the spray solution as soon as it is prepared. Sprayer Cleanup Prior to using Axial XL Herbicide, ensure that the spray tank, lines and screens and filters are thoroughly clean. Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after spraying Axial XL Herbicide. Ensure that all traces of the product are removed. The following directions are provided: 1.
