In a head-to-head with trifluralin, BOXER GOLD® delivers consistent performance on annual ryegrass, especially under variable seasonal conditions. Its dual active ingredients deliver a combination blow to Group 3 (D, trifluralin) resistant ARG populations, making it a foundation for your grass and broadleaf weed management strategy.
BOXER GOLD® Key Benefits
Dual absorption: BOXER GOLD® is absorbed through both the mesocotyl and the roots of the emerging seedling, giving a much greater area for uptake than root-absorbed chemistry alone.
Suits your seeding system: Because uptake is not dependent on the herbicide moving down to the root zone, performance holds up whether you are sowing with knife points or discs, where the herbicide band sits closer to the surface in firmer soil.
No plant-back restrictions: BOXER GOLD® has no plant-back restrictions, so this year's herbicide choice does not limit next year's crop choice, valuable when you need to react to pricing signals before deciding what to plant.
- Flexible in the program and in the tank: Use it in pre, post or split application patterns across a broad range of cereal and pulse crops, and tank mix with partners such as CALLISTO® to cover grass and broadleaf weeds in one pass. Rotating modes of action this way helps maximise the longevity of each chemistry

BOXER GOLD® is registered for the control of Annual Ryegrass, Toadrush, Silver Grass, and Stone Crop Suppression of Barley Grass.
Over 50 replicated field trials and 100 large scale grower evaluations have shown that BOXER GOLD® is a proven performer for control of Annual Ryegrass. In these trials, BOXER GOLD® delivered the most consistent performance in the control of Annual Ryegrass compared to trifluralin, common pre-emergent tank mixtures and Sakura*, especially during the four to eight weeks post-sowing when weed control is essential for a healthy crop to establish.
