Five reasons to choose AXIAL® Xtra herbicide over a generic pinoxaden

AXIAL Xtra farmer in wheat field

Pinoxaden remains a valuable tool for the management of wild oats, phalaris and annual ryegrass in wheat and barley crops, with AXIAL® Xtra herbicide being the leading choice in terms of efficacy and ease of use.

AXIAL® Xtra herbicide has been proven to perform better in more marginal conditions or where target site resistance exists to other Group 1 (A) herbicides, thanks to the Syngenta product’s superior uptake within target weeds.

AXIAL® Xtra herbicide is also the dependable choice in many real-world conditions, where problems can easily arise, saving users time and money in the long run.

Here are five reasons to consider choosing AXIAL® Xtra herbicide over a generic pinoxaden:

  1. Proven formulation, protected investment
    Syngenta's patented formulation maintains full potency from storage to application - outperforming generics across Australia's variable water quality and challenging field conditions.
     
  2. Superior grass weed control, even under tough conditions
    Increased activity against Phalaris and Wild Oats versus other Group 1 (A) herbicides, with faster brown-out of treated weeds reducing crop competition and limiting seed set.
     
  3. Complete, ready-to-use application solution
    Built-in adjuvant system eliminates additional adjuvant costs and guesswork. Improved broadleaf herbicide compatibility enables flexible tank mixing to optimise spray timing and logistics efficiency.
     
  4. Australia's leading ACCase resistance management herbicide
    Integrate seamlessly with pre-emergent herbicides, helping to prolong “den” susceptible populations for a zero-tolerance approach to grass weed management.
     
  5. Maximise spray uptime, minimise equipment downtime
    Advanced formulation prevents crystallization, blocked nozzles, and excessive foaming - keeping spray operations running smoothly during critical application windows.
     

AXIAL® Xtra is also an excellent alternative to fop herbicides such as fenoxaprop. Being structurally different to FOPs, AXIAL® Xtra is able to overcome FOP target site and metabolism resistance.
