WestBred® Integrated Weed Management Systems
Cleaner Fields, Higher Yield Potential and Bigger Profit Margin Potential
WestBred wheat combines elite genetics with cutting-edge herbicide-tolerant traits to help you produce more higher-quality wheat with less dockage and foreign matter.
Clearfield® Plus Wheat Production System
Clearfield® Plus features high-performing WestBred wheat genetics with Beyond® herbicide tolerance to control grass and broadleaf weeds, such as cheatgrass (or downy brome), feral rye, jointed goatgrass, mustards and Palmer amaranth. It even controls volunteer wheat and barley and allows for split applications of Beyond herbicide and performance-enhancing methylated seed oil.
“We’ve been planting pretty much all Clearfield wheat since 2011. In our area, we’re fighting cheatgrass, goatgrass and rye pretty bad. A lot of the herbicides for cheatgrass and goatgrass aren’t as effective as the Beyond, so we have basically shifted our whole operation to Clearfield wheat.”

CoAXium® Wheat Production System
CoAXium combines elite WestBred varieties with the patented AXigen® non-GMO trait, with tolerance to Aggressor® AX brand herbicides. It’s the most comprehensive technology for broad-spectrum control of grassy weeds, including Bromus species, feral rye, jointed goatgrass, foxtail, wild oats and volunteer cereals. And it’s the only system available with limited soil residual, providing growers with greater crop rotation flexibility.
Integrated Weed Management Best Practices
Stewardship is essential for ensuring the ongoing effectiveness of WestBred weed control systems. Always utilize the following agronomic practices for maximum yield potential.
Beyond® herbicide is the only federally and state-approved imazamox-containing herbicide registered for use on Clearfield® and Clearfield® Plus wheat. Applications of any herbicide that is not registered for use on that crop are not permitted under the EPA rules and mandates.
Growers must sign a BASF Clearfield Wheat Stewardship Agreement that specifies the use of registered herbicides on Clearfield and Clearfield Plus wheat, including imazamox-containing herbicides along with purchasing certified Clearfield and Clearfield Plus varieties.
ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Consult your local BASF or retail chemical representative for complete Beyond herbicide label requirements.
