Environmental Hazards 
 
This product is toxic to oysters. For terrestrial uses: Do not apply directly to water, to 
areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water 
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate. 
 
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product is toxic to plants 
and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including 
pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-
target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift. 
 
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product has properties and 
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This product may 
leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where 
the water table is shallow. 
 
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product may impact surface water 
quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and 
soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for 
reaching surface water via runoff for several days after application. A level, well-
maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and 
surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential 
loading of florasulam from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be 
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 
48 hours.

GENERAL INFORMATION 
 
Axial TBC Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the control of annual 
grasses and broadleaf weeds in all varieties of spring wheat (excluding durum), winter 
wheat, and barley not underseeded with legumes. 
 
Axial TBC Herbicide is absorbed by foliage and is rapidly translocated to the growing 
points of leaves and stems of target weeds. Actively growing susceptible grass and 
broadleaf weeds stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Typical symptoms 
(discoloration) of dying broadleaf weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 2 weeks after 
application. Susceptible grass weeds 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. 
 
Rainfastness 
 
Axial TBC Herbicide is not affected by rain falling 4 hours or more after application. 
 
Weed Resistance Management 
FLORASULAM GROUP 2 HERBICIDE 
PINOXADEN GROUP 1 HERBICIDE 
 
Axial TBC Herbicide contains a Group 1 (ACCase inhibitor) herbicide and Group 2 (ALS 
inhibitor) herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed populations have been identified as 
resistant to Group 1 and 2 herbicides. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated 
use of these herbicides in the same field, may result in control failures. A resistant 
biotype may be present if poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather 
conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your 
local Syngenta representative for assistance. 
 
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 
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 su ch as cover crops, mechanical weed 
control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate. 
Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean

Axial TBC Herbicide 
EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 
Page 8 
 
 
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness. 
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing til lage 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, such as 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 
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the fi eld 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 plant s of a particular weed species; and 
• Surviving plants mixed with controll ed 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 such as 
tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest 
weed seed management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed 
production.

EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 
Page 9 
 
 
Resistant Weeds 
• Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension 
agent to determine if weeds resistant to modes of action contained in this product 
are present in your area. Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled 
by multiple modes of action. 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 
TBC Herbicide.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
 
Timing of Application 
 
Apply Axial TBC Herbicide to all varieties of spring wheat (excluding durum), winter 
wheat, and barley from the 3-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. 
 
For optimum results, apply Axial TBC Herbicide to actively growing weeds. An early 
application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weed control 
following application of Axial TBC Herbicide alone or in combination with other herbicides 
can be reduced or delayed under conditions of stress, such as drought, heat, insufficient 
fertility, flooding, and prolonged cool temperatures. Optimum weed control will be 
obtained if application of Axial TBC Herbicide is delayed until the conditions of stress 
have ended and weeds are once again actively growing. If foliage is wet at time of 
application, control may be decreased. Weeds emerging after Axial TBC Herbicide 
application will not be controlled.

USE RATE 
 
Apply Axial TBC Herbicide at 8.85 oz./A + Adigor® Adjuvant at 9.6 oz./A in a minimum of 
5 gallons up to 10 gallons of water per acre. 
 
WEEDS CONTROLLED 
 
For broad-spectrum weed control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, Axial TBC 
Herbicide can be applied alone or tank mixed with broadleaf herbicides as described 
below. Consult the label of the tank-mix partner for a list of broadleaf weeds controlled, 
rates, application timing, recropping restrictions, grazing interval restrictions, directions for 
use, and precautions. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and 
precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed 
with any other product whose label prohibits such a mixture. Under less than favorable 
environmental conditions, grass antagonism (i.e., reduced grass control) may occur with 
certain broadleaf herbicide tank mixes. 
 
Refer to the following tables which lists the grasses and broadleaf weeds controlled by 
Axial TBC Herbicide alone and with broadleaf herbicide mixture partners.

AVOIDING INJURIOUS SPRAY DRIFT 
 
This product can affect broadleaf plants directly through foliage and indirectly by root 
uptake from treated soil. Do not apply directly to, or allow spray drift to come into 
contact with, broadleaf crops including, but not limited to, alfalfa, canola, beans, cotton, 
flowers, grapes, lettuce, lentils, mustard, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar 
beets, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables, or other desirable broadleaf crops or 
ornamental plants or soil where sensitive crops will be planted the same season. Make 
application only when there is little or no hazard from spray drift. Very small quantities 
of spray, which may be visible, may seriously injure crops, whether dormant or actively 
growing. 
 
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 S641). 
• 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 temperature inversions. 
 
Ground Boom Applications: 
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but 
no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. 
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). 
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES 
 
x 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

Axial TBC Herbicide 
EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 
Page 16 
 
 
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. 
 
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 manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up 
nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with 
the airflow in flight. 
 
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom 
 
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide 
uniform coverage. 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. When applying aerially to 
crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless 
a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. 
 
 
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.

Axial TBC Herbicide 
EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 
Page 17 
 
 
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. 
 
For best accuracy, calibrate the sprayer before use. 
 
Ground Applications 
 
Water Volume - Use an application volume of 5-10 gallons of water per acre. Use 
10 gallons of water per acre under dry conditions or dense weed populations. 
Application rates of greater than 10 gallons of water per acre should be avoided as 
reduced weed 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 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.

Good weed coverage with the spray mixture is essential for optimum weed control 
results. Observe sprayer nozzles frequently during the spraying operation to ensure that 
the spray pattern is uniform. Avoid large spray overlaps which result in excessive rates in 
the overlap areas. Also, avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage 
cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. To reduce spray drift, do 
not apply under windy conditions. Allow adequate distance between target area and 
desirable vegetation to prevent drift to nontarget areas. Boom height for broadcast over-
the-top application should be based upon the free-standing height of the crop, not height 
above the soil surface, and should be at least 12 inches above the crop. 
 
Aerial Applications 
 
Apply Axial TBC 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. 
 
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 TBC 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.
