BioSafe Systems announced it has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture Certified Biobased Product label. The product, AXXE Broad Spectrum Herbicide, is now able to display a unique USDA label that highlights its percentage of biobased content.
“We applaud BioSafe Systems, LLC. for earning the USDA Certified Biobased Product label,” said Kate Lewis of the USDA BioPreferred Program. “Products from BioSafe Systems, LLC. are contributing to an ever-expanding marketplace that adds value to renewable agriculture commodities, creates jobs in rural communities, and decreases our reliance on petroleum.”
AXXE is a sustainable herbicide formulated to deliver maximum performance through ammoniated pelargonic salts. AXXE can be applied outdoors and around buildings or structures, with no residue left behind.
The USDA Certified Biobased Product label displays a product’s biobased content, which is the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks. AXXE’s active ingredient, ammonium nonanoate, is a plant fatty acid that penetrates the cell wall of plants, disrupting the cellular functions of the targeted weeds and killing them within hours of application.
“BioSafe is humbled and proud to be honored with initiatives that invest in the future of sustainable agriculture in a multi-faceted field-to-packing approach, utilizing innovations to help producers address evolving changes in agriculture production practices,” said Michael Larose, technical marketing coordinator at BioSafe Systems.
