Instructions for use of the herbicide Axial, application rates and analogues

In order to preserve cereal crops as much as possible, it is necessary to destroy weeds. The new systemic two-component herbicide “Axial” is designed to combat harmful plants. Weeds often represent great competition to cereal crops. The drug is capable of acting against a wide range of weeds in spring and winter crops. It is used in tank mixtures together with other anti-dicot agrochemicals. The herbicide quickly and effectively causes complete death of weeds within a few days.

Composition, release form and purpose of the drug "Axial"

"Axial" belongs to the chemical class of phenylpyrazolines. The product contains two substances:

1. Pinoxaden - 45g/l.
2. Cloquintoset-mexil - 11.25 g/l.

Axial is produced in the form of a concentrated emulsion. The drug is packaged in 5 liter plastic containers.

The herbicide is used in agricultural production. "Axial" is intended for spraying after germination of wheat and barley crops against weeds. Air handling is permitted.

How does it work

The active substance pinoxaden penetrates through the leaf blades into the plant and is transported from the base to the top and back. Cloquintoset-mexil, or antidote, accelerates the process of neutralizing toxins of the active component and converts it into neutral metabolites. Weed growth stops after two days. Leaf chlorosis and spotting are noticeable after 2-3 weeks. Weeds die off after 10-14 days.

Pros and cons of the product

"Axial" has many advantages:

• takes control of the growth of wild oats in agricultural crops;
• destroys all cereal weeds;
• non-phytotoxic;
• exhibits selectivity to wheat and barley;
• has no contraindications in crop rotation;
• is not afraid of precipitation even half an hour after treatment;
• used in tank mixtures.

The disadvantages are that you need to choose the moment when the weed is in its most vulnerable phase for the best result.

Combine herbicide with agrochemicals depending on what weeds predominate in the field.

Consumption rate

The dosage of the herbicide depends on the degree of crop infestation and the sensitivity of the weeds to the active substance.

For winter and spring wheat, the drug is effective when the following weeds grow on crops - wild oats, foxtail, millet, broom. You need 0.7-1.3 l/ha of herbicide. The maximum dosage is needed when the field is heavily clogged and under unfavorable crop growing conditions.

For spring barley, in order to destroy species of bristle grass, millet, broom and other annuals, 0.7-1.0 l/ha of the drug will be required. The consumption of the working solution is 200-300 l/ha, for aerial treatment - 25-50 l/ha.

How to properly prepare a working solution

The cleanliness of the container, the serviceability of all parts of the sprayer, and the water supply are checked on the eve of work. Calculate the liquid consumption per 1 ha. Half the tank is filled with clean water, the mixer is turned on, the required amount of herbicide is added, the rest of the liquid is added, without ceasing to stir. For a homogeneous mixture, stir the solution during processing.

When mixing, first dissolve Axial, then the other drug.

Instructions for use of herbicide

Treatment is done in the morning or evening hours at low wind speeds. It is also necessary to prevent the mixture from coming into contact with neighboring crops growing nearby. The desired air temperature is +10…+25 °C. But the product works at +5 °C. Spraying is not recommended during temperature changes and if the plants are under stress. The sprayer equipment should be set to medium or fine spray for a more effective result.

You can begin work when the crops are in the 2-3 leaf stage. At the same time, for wild oats, the beginning of emergence into the tube; for other weeds, 2-3 leaves before the tillering stage. For wheat and barley, the herbicide is safe from the phase of formation of new shoots from the node to the flag leaf; for weeds - from 2 leaves to the flag leaf.The action lasts 1.5-2 months.

Safety precautions

Treatment with the drug must be carried out in special protective equipment - overalls, goggles, respirator, gloves. "Axial" can be dangerous if it comes into contact with the skin or mucous membranes. If the product gets into your eyes, immediately rinse them with clean, running water; on your skin, first wipe with a clean, dry cloth, then rinse. In case of ingestion, rinse your mouth, drink water and activated charcoal, and call an ambulance.

The degree of toxicity of the drug

Danger to humans and bees - class 3. There are restrictions when working near bodies of water with fish.

Compatibility with other tools

“Lancelot”, “Derby”, “Alto”, “Super” are the most suitable partners for Axial. Compatible with other agricultural products. Before use, it is advised to check for compatibility, remembering to dilute the chemicals with water.

Terms and conditions of storage

The storage location of the agrochemical is a room where the air temperature is -10... +35 °C. Duration: 3 years in original packaging.

Analogues of the drug

Herbicides of similar action and application are effective for combating wild oats, bristle grasses, and millet grasses:

• "Traxos" is based on pinoxaden and clodinafop-propalgyl.
• "Pallas 45" - consists of pyroxulam.
