Pinoxaden and Cloquintocet-Mexyl in the Product Axial 100 EC Selective Herbicide

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has before it an application from Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Limited to vary the registration of the product, Axial 100 EC Selective Herbicide, containing 100 g/L pinoxaden and 25 g/L cloquintocet-mexyl, to extend the application timing from GS12-39 to GS12-49 for barley and wheat. The proposed extensions of use require an increase in the MRLs for pinoxaden in barley, wheat and wheat bran.
