Gal-Gone Selective Weed Killer 5L

Gal-Gone is a selective weed killer spray which helps control and manage perennial weeds in grassland, and paddocks. Containing 200g/l fluroxypyr, it is ideal for targeting a wide range of annual and perennial weeds in both newly sown and established grassland. In particular, Gal-Gone provides excellent control of chickweed alongside weeds with a tap root such as dandelion and dock.

Gal-Gone can be tank mixed with herbicides containing other active substances to increase the number of weed species that are targeted. Recommended tank mixes include:

• Gal-Gone at 1.25l/ha + Lupo at 2.5l/ha
• Gal-Gone at 1.0l/ha + Thrust at 2.5l/ha

Application Information

Where to apply

This herbicide is ideal for use on newly sown and established grassland such as horse and pony paddocks for the control of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds.

When to apply

Gal-Gone can be applied at any time but for best results spraying should be undertaken when the soil is moist, and the weeds are actively growing but foliage is dry. Weeds are ideally treated earlier in the season, during May. Please note that it is not recommended to use the product when plants are stressed such as in drought conditions as Gal-Gone will be less effective.

How to apply

Gal-Gone can be applied using a knapsack or vehicle mounted boom sprayer.

• Half fill the spray tank with water
• Add the required amount of Lupo and agitate to ensure thorough mixing
• Add the remaining water and continue to agitate until thoroughly mixed
• Apply the spray to the grass at a rate of 0.75-2.0l/ha
• After spraying clean all spraying equipment inside and out, rinsing with water three times before leaving to drain and dry

Additional Information

• The lowest application rate should only be used on small weeds which are easier to control
• When the grass is denser the spray volume should be increased to ensure good weed coverage
• Target weeds should be fully emerged before application
• Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled
• Once mixed use the spray solution immediately and continue agitating until the application is complete
• Do not treat waterlogged crops or crops under drought stress
• Ensure that the grass is growing vigorously and is unaffected by stresses such as frost, pests, disease, nutrient deficiency or drought prior to application
• Do not use if clover or other legumes are important components of the sward
