Product information
GENERAL INFORMATION
GALIGAN is a pre emergence and post emergence herbicide for use alone or in tank mixture with other knockdown and/or residual herbicides. It has contact activity against small weeds and long term residual activity in low organic matter soils. Residual life is greatest when applied to bare compact ground where emerged weeds are sparse.
Beware: Apply this product carefully. Spray drift may cause serious damage to desirable plants. A strategy to minimise spray drift should be employed at all times when applying spray near aquatic environments.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Weeds controlled: Bitter cress, black nightshade, catsear, cleavers, cut leaved geranium, fathen, field bindweed, fumitory, field madder, groundsel, hedge mustard, mouse eared chickweed, nettle, parsley piert, pennyroyal, redroot, mallows, sea radish, seedling docks, shepherd’s purse, sow thistle, speedwells, storksbill, twin cress, wild portulaca, wild turnip and wireweed.
Use as a spike to assist with glyphosate based herbicides.
When tank mixed with the correct label rate of any glyphosate based herbicide, it will aid in the initial brownout on most weed leaves and stems without interfering with the translocation properties. This product will assist glyphosate to control mallows, tall willow herb, cleavers and nettles in particular. Some weeds, e.g. speedwells, cress and certain grasses may not show an initial scorch but an earlier weed kill should still be obtained.
Orchard weed strips, non-crop uses: Apply 40 – 75 mL/Ha in tank mix with the recommended rate of glyphosate based herbicide for general use. Apply 1 0 - 1.5 L/Ha in tank mix with the recommended rate of glyphosate based herbicide to improve the control of “difficult to kill” weeds such as mallow, nettle, hedge mustard, shepherds purse and field speedwell. Use the high rate for creeping mallow and weeds taller than 25cm.
Handgun and Knapsack spraying: Add GALIGAN 500 SC at 150mL/100Litres to the recommended rate of glyphosate based herbicide and apply to thoroughly wet all weeds.
Conservation tillage: Apply 40mL/Ha in tank mix with the recommended rate of glyphosate based herbicide.
Mixing: Slowly pour the correct amount of product into the partly filled tank, and while agitating add the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation during spraying and any stoppages. Only mix sufficient spray for immediate use and avoid storing.
Adjuvants: For knockdown use the addition of adjuvants can be beneficial.
Application: Apply only via conventional ground based boom, gun or knapsack spraying equipment that is well maintained and calibrated and set up to achieve complete coverage of all weeds. Use an appropriate water rate for the weeds present but use a minimum of 300L/Ha.
Rainfall: For residual use rainfall has no detrimental effect. For knockdown use alone delay treatment if rain is likely up to three hours after spray has dried on the foliage.
Compatibility: may be tank mixed with a wide range of herbicides including products containing
glyphosate, amitrole, terbuthylazine and glufosinate.
Sprayer clean-up: to avoid injury to subsequently sprayed sensitive crops, flush sprayer with several rinses of clean water after use.
Plantback: When used at low rates there should be no problem with germination of following crops following cultivation or direct drilling of pasture or brassicas. Do not use as a stale seedbed additive to glyphosate in vegetable growing unless prior knowledge suggest otherwise.
