Has anyone used the above, what did you think? Agronomist is telling me to try instead of Axial for ryegrass control in Wheat..
Thanks

Never heard of it. What's the active ingredient?

I'm not sure what the last ingredient on the list adds to the efficacy.

thiencarbazone is used on wheat in North America. I think it targets mainly grassweeds, but does have some activity on broad-leaved weeds.

It can be a bit hot, so usually has a safener built in.

Thiencarbazone is touted here as a useful addition against blackgrass. It doesn't help brome or ryegrass control much. Of the three actives in Proverb iodosulfuron is the one with most activity on ryegrass and at full rate you are only getting 3g/ha a.i. so this would not be a recommended product against ryegrass over here.

This afternoon I have been walking cereal fields with bad ryegrass treated two weeks ago with different products. The Axial Pratic has definitely done the job on some quite big plants at 1 litre/ha. Other fields were treated with Joystick at 200g/ha and the ryegrass has barely changed colour yet. At that rate the Iodosulfuron in Joystick was at 10 g/ha a.i.. I wish I had stuck to Axial for all of it.
