3 Breeders comments The rapid adoption of the wheat varieties Kord and Grenade, and Scope CL barley has highlighted the important role that Intervix tolerance plays in your integrated weed management strategy. Hatchet (RAC1843) compliments this suite of varieties, adding an AH, CCN resistant, short season wheat variety into the set of Intervix tolerant cereals you can now pick from. Hatchet is even quicker to flower (by two days) than its main parent Axe, so is likely to suit environments where terminal drought stress is frequently encountered. This fast maturity may also be used to grower s advantage when managing weed-problem paddocks, allowing an extra knockdown to be introduced prior to sowing Hatchet. Combined with its early vigour, Hatchet is a useful tool for managing the impact of weeds on your farm. Clearfield System Hatchet has been specifically developed to carry two genes for tolerance to Clearfield Intervix herbicide. Intervix is a member of the imidazolinone chemical family with Group B mode of action, offering one-pass post-emergent knockdown and residual control of many major grass and broadleaf weeds. Intervix Herbicide is available via the Clearfield Agricentre Agency system, administered by BASF.
