Syngenta Adds BroadAxe XC to Herbicide Portfolio

The new BroadAxe^® XC herbicide from Syngenta gives growers more flexibility for soybean, sunflower and dry pea weed control programs and expands the geography where Syngenta soil-residual herbicides can be applied on these crops. With pre-emergence herbicide activity and multiple modes of action, BroadAxe XC is ideal for weed resistance management programs.

"BroadAxe XC herbicide has the capability to maximize yield potential through early-season weed management and long-lasting residual control," says Don Porter, herbicide technical lead at Syngenta. "It is a valuable addition to the Syngenta herbicide portfolio."

BroadAxe XC herbicide provides broad-spectrum residual control of key broadleaf weeds, including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, morningglory, kochia, lambsquarters, Russian thistle (including glyphosate-, ALS- and triazine-resistant populations) and annual grass weeds.
