**BroadAxe® XC Herbicide**
BroadAxe® XC Herbicide, developed by Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC (EPA Registration Number: 279-3442-100), is a pre-emergent herbicide designed to provide broad-spectrum residual control of both broadleaf and grass weeds in soybeans, sunflowers, and dry peas. By combining two active ingredients—S-metolachlor and sulfentrazone—this herbicide offers two distinct modes of action, enhancing its effectiveness against a wide range of weed species.
**Key Features:**
- **Dual Modes of Action:** Integrates Group 15 (VLCFA inhibitor) and Group 14 (PPO inhibitor) herbicides to effectively manage and reduce the selection pressure for resistant weed biotypes.
- **Broad-Spectrum Control:** Targets challenging weeds such as Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, morningglory, kochia, lambsquarters, Russian thistle (including glyphosate-, ALS-, and triazine-resistant populations), and various annual grass weeds, ensuring cleaner fields and promoting optimal crop growth.
- **Flexible Application Timing:** Suitable for application up to three days after planting but prior to crop or weed emergence, allowing for effective early-season weed management.
- **Compatibility with Various Tillage Systems:** Effective in all tillage systems and adaptable across geographies and soil types, providing versatility for different farming practices.
**Usage Recommendations:**
- **Application Rates:** Refer to the product label for specific use rates based on soil texture and organic matter content to optimize weed control and minimize crop injury.
- **Tank Mix Compatibility:** Can be tank-mixed with other herbicides, such as FirstRate®, to extend the spectrum of weed control and enhance burndown efficacy.
- **Activation Requirements:** If adequate moisture (0.5 to 1 inch) from rainfall or irrigation is not received within 7 to 10 days after application, a shallow incorporation (less than 2 inches) may be needed to obtain desired weed control.
**Safety and Handling:**
- **Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):** Handlers should wear coveralls over short-sleeved shirts and short pants, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and a chemical-resistant apron when cleaning equipment, mixing, or loading.
- **Restricted Entry Interval (REI):** A 24-hour REI is mandated following application, during which entry to treated areas should be restricted.
- **Environmental Considerations:** To prevent potential injury to adjacent sensitive crops or desirable vegetation, avoid applications under conditions that may lead to spray drift.
*Note:* Always read and adhere to the product label instructions and state regulations before use. Ensure compliance with all safety guidelines to protect both the applicator and the environment.
