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.
Crop
Rotation Interval
(Months)
Barley, oats, wheat 0.5
Field corn, popcorn, seed corn, sweet corn, sorghum 4
Alfalfa, canola, chickpea, soybean, dry bean, pea, flax,

Other crops not listed 12
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 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
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 manufacturers 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.
