Amazing! No wld oats - Product overview

Fast-acting and highly active AXIAL is in a class of its own for grass weed control in barley and wheat


With over 350,000 ha treated in 2007, AXIAL is now one of the leading spring grass weed herbicides in barley and wheat.

Fast-acting, and highly active against the UK’s most competitive grass weeds of wild oats and rye-grass – plus a range of other problem grass weeds, including black-grass in barley – it’s latest ‘den’ chemistry opens a new era of herbicide crop safety, versatility and ease-of-use.


Better still, it isn’t affected in the same way as ‘fop’ and ‘cereal safe dim’ herbicides by resistance, and it brings gains in spraying efficiency – thanks to simplicity of a single product for winter wheat and barley, suitability for 100 l/ha application, and flexibility in dose rate and timing.

Irrespective of grain prices, doing the best job possible against wild oats and rye-grass is important. AXIAL provides an easier approach.
