Product Information
 
Axial 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. 
 
Axial 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 the plants is 
essential for consistent control. 
 
Although Axial 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. 
 
Rainfastness 
 
Axial Herbicide applied alone is not affected by rain falling 30 minutes or more after 
application. 
 
Weed 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 
 
 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

-7-
management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all 
weeds present. 
 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 
 
 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 
 Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness. 
 Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for 
control of emerged weeds. 
 Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior 
to leaving fields. 
 
Difficult to control weeds 
 
 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. 
 Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, for example a 
broad spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more 
postemergence herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different 
modes of action effective on the target weeds in sequential applications. 
 
DO NOT overuse the technology 
 
 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

-8-
 Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders. 
 Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective. 
 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. 
 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 
 
 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 
Herbicide. 
 
Crop Rotational Interval 
Wheat (including Durum) and Barley 0 days 
Leafy and Root Crops 30 days 
Other Cereal Grains and All Other Crops 90 days

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
 
Methods of Application 
Application Equipment 
Axial Herbicide may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for 
making ground or aerial applications. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. 
 
For best accuracy, calibrate the sprayer before use. 
 
Ground Applications 
 
Water Volume Use a diliution rate of 510 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 gallons 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 optimu
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. 
 
 
Aerial Applications 
 
Apply Axial Herbicide in water using a minimum spray volume of 5 gals/A. Avoid 
application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where 
excessive spray drift may occur. Make applications at a maximum height of 10 ft above 
the crop (unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety) with low-drift 
nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi and wind speed not exceeding 10 mph to help 
assure accurate application within the target area.

-10-
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 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 Directions 
 Prior to using Axial Herbicide, ensure that the spray tank, lines and screens and 
filters have been thoroughly cleaned 
 Clean spray tank and half fill with clean water. 
 Start agitation or bypass system. 
 Add correct amount of Axial Herbicide. 
Axial Herbicide requires a spray adjuvant. Add: 
 [0.5% to 1% v/v Adigor® [OR] 
 [0.5 to 1% v/v of a methylated seed oil (MSO)] 
 
 Agitate for 2-3 minutes before adding remainder of water and then maintain 
constant agitation. 
 After any break in spraying operations, agitate thoroughly before spraying again. 
 Use the spray solution as soon as it is prepared. 
 
Tank-Mix Directions 
 
Tank-Mix Precautions 
It is the 
the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and 
directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow 
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each 
product in the tank mixture. 
 
Tank-Mix Compatibility

-11-
Perform a jar compatibility test prior to tank mixing with other pesticides and/or 
adjuvants/additives, in order to ensure the compatibility of Axial Herbicide with other 
products, adjuvants or fertilizers. The procedure for conducting jar tank-mix compatibility 
tests is as follows: 
 
Compatibility Test: Always perform a tank-mix compatibility test when mixing with 
new or unknown tank-mix partners before use. Perform tank-mix compatibility test as 
follows: 
 
1. Add 1 pt of carrier (the water to be used in the spray operation) to each of two 
clear 1-qt jars with tight lids. 
 
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp or 1.2 ml of a commercially available tank-mix 
compatibility agent approved for this use (¼ tsp is equivalent to 2 pt/100 gallons 
of spray solution). Close the lid, invert the jar, shake or stir gently to ensure 
thorough mixing of the compatibility agent. 
 
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of each tank-mix partner. If more than 
one tank-mix partner is to be used, follow the mixing order listed in Section 4.4.4, 
by adding dry formulations (wettable powders or water dispersible granules) first, 
followed by liquid flowables, capsule suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates, and 
finally add adjuvants. After each addition, invert the jar, shake or stir gently to 
thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of each tank-mix partner for this test, is 
as follows: 
Dry formulations: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level 
teaspoons to each jar. 
Liquid formulations: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon or 
2.5 milliliters to each jar. 
 
4. After adding all ingredients, close the jars and tighten, then invert each jar 10 
times to fully mix. Let the mixtures stand for 15-30 minutes and then assess by 
looking for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, 
or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in 
the application mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but 
can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is 
used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving 
compatibility: (A) Pre-slurry dry formulations in water before addition to the jar, or 
(B) add the compatibility agent directly into liquid formulations, before addition to 
the jar. If these procedures are followed but incompatibility is still observed, do 
not prepare the tank mix in the spray tank. 
 
Axial Herbicide in Tank Mixtures 
 Clean spray tank and half fill with clean water. 
 Start agitation or bypass system. 
 When using a tank-mix, add different formulation types in the sequence indicated 
below.

-12-
1. products packaged in water-soluble packaging
2. wettable powders, 
3. wettable granules (dry flowables) 
4. liquid flowables 
5. capsule suspensions 
6. soluble liquids 
7. emulsifiable concentrates (such as Axial Herbicide) 
8. surfactants / adjuvants / suspension agents 
 
 Allow each product to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water before 
adding the next product. Continue agitation while the next product is added. 
 Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. 
 Begin application of the spray solution after all products have completely dispersed 
into the mix water. 
 
 
Always read and follow the spray adjuvant label directions prior to use and observe all 
precautions, mixing and application instructions. 
 
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
 
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
Aerial Applications: 
 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 
safety. 
 Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE 
S572). 
 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 edge of the field. 
 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-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. 
 Do not apply during ground level temperature inversions. 
 
Ground Boom Applications: 
 User must only apply with the release height recommended by the 
manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. 
 Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE 
S572).

-13-
 Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application 
site. 
 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 
 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. 
 Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to 
produce the target spray volume and droplet size. 
 Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. 
Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. 
 
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft 
 Adjust Nozzles - 
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

-14-
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.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
 
Timing of Application 
 
Apply Axial 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.

-15-
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. 
 
For optimum results, apply Axial Herbicide to actively growing weeds. An early 
application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weed control 
following application of Axial 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 Herbicide is delayed until the conditions of stress 
have ended and weeds are once again actively growing. Weeds emerging after Axial 
Herbicide application will not be controlled.
