Galera 334 SL

French-engineered protection for your rapeseed: systemic weed control

In the crop protection sector, Galera 334 SL from Dow AgroSciences S.A.S. has established itself as an agronomic benchmark for professional winter rapeseed and mustard production. Developed in France, this product serves as a gold standard for systemic post-emergence field management.

The efficacy of the preparation is rooted in a potent combination of clopyralid and picloram. This synergy turns the product into heavy-duty artillery against the most damaging broad-leaved weeds that can compromise both yields and harvesting efficiency. Galera 334 SL consistently combats invasive species such as cleavers, creeping thistle, common lambsquarters, knotweed varieties, and scentless mayweed.

Why agronomists rely on Galera 334 SL

The core strength of this herbicide lies in its high selectivity. As a systemic agent, it is absorbed through the leaves and translocated throughout the weed's entire structure, including the root system. This is crucial for controlling perennial root-suckering weeds like thistles.

• Comprehensive control: total suppression of a wide range of broad-leaved weeds, including the most resilient strains.
• Application flexibility: as a post-emergence (insurance) herbicide, it allows for tactical adjustments to your protection program based on actual field conditions.
• User-friendly formulation: the liquid solution is easily prepared in tank mixes, ensuring sprayer nozzles remain clear and functional.

Application guidelines

To achieve peak performance at a rate of up to 0.5 l/ha, the product should be applied during the weeds' active growth phase. Thanks to its systemic mechanism, Galera 334 SL provides a sustained protective effect. A major advantage for modern farms is the minimal pre-harvest interval — just 1 day — making it a safe and versatile tool for intensive agricultural practices. The product is classified under Hazard Class 3, requiring standard safety protocols during handling.
