Galion SL is a systemic post-emergence herbicide from Avgust, designed for the control of annual and perennial dicotyledonous weeds in agricultural crops. This herbicide is well-known for its high efficacy and selectivity towards target crops, providing a reliable solution for farmers looking to keep their fields weed-free.
Active Ingredient:
- Clopyralid (300 g/l): This active ingredient is effective against a wide range of dicotyledonous weeds, especially those from the Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Polygonaceae families.
Protected Crops:
- Wheat
- Barley
- Corn
- Rapeseed
- Sugar beet
Weed Control Spectrum:
Annual Weeds:
- Shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris)

- Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense)
Perennial Weeds:
- Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis)
- Thistle (Cirsium arvense)
- Climbing buckwheat (Fallopia convolvulus)
Mode of Action:
- Galion SL is absorbed through the leaves and stems of the weeds and is translocated throughout the plant, including the roots. It acts as a growth regulator, disrupting essential physiological processes, leading to the drying and death of the weeds.
Dosage and Application:
- Recommended Dosage:
- 0.3-0.5 l/ha for wheat and barley.
- 0.5-0.7 l/ha for rapeseed and sugar beet.
- Application Timing: Post-emergence, during the active growth phase of the weeds (2-8 leaves).
- Water Volume: 200-400 liters/ha, depending on vegetation density.
Compatibility: Compatible with other herbicides and fungicides, but it is recommended to perform a preliminary compatibility test before mixing.
Advantages:
- Excellent Selectivity: Does not affect the protected crops.
- High Efficacy: Controls even difficult-to-manage weeds such as thistles.
- Systemic Translocation: The herbicide reaches all parts of the plant, including the roots.
- Flexible Application: Can be used on a wide range of crops.
Safety Recommendations:
- Ensure the product is applied under favorable conditions (moderate temperatures and no wind).
- Avoid contamination of surface or groundwater.
- Wear appropriate protective equipment during handling and application.
Conclusion:
Galion SL is a powerful and reliable herbicide for managing problematic dicotyledonous weeds, ensuring the health and productivity of agricultural crops. With high selectivity and systemic action, this product is an excellent choice for farmers seeking effective crop protection.
