Dow’s herbicide Gallery receives US registration

Dow AgroSciences has received federal registration of Gallery SC (isoxaben) specialty herbicide, a new, convenient liquid formulation. The easy-to-use suspension concentrate formulation provides excellent plant tolerance and long-lasting control of more than 95 species of broadleaf weeds — including chickweed, spurge and oxalis — for up to six to eight months, depending on environmental conditions.

 

The new concentrated formula greatly reduces rinsing and disposal. Applied at a rate of one quart per acre, Gallery SC in the two-gallon jug will cover 8 1/4 acres in a single container. Gallery SC is available in one-quart and two-gallon containers.

 

“We have combined the superior performance you know from Gallery 75DF with a more user-friendly liquid formulation,” said Maureen Clark, Dow AgroSciences turf and ornamental product manager.

 

Gallery SC contains the unique active ingredient isoxaben, developed by Dow AgroSciences. It can be applied with confidence on 714 field-grown and 562 container-grown ornamentals — more than any other preemergence herbicide on the market. It bonds tightly with soil particles and has a low water solubility, so it won’t move out of the weed germination zone. Studies show that Gallery specialty herbicide is stable on the soil surface and stays put, even in heavy rainfall.

 

The product will be available in the marketplace this fall.
