Galera Super

Synergy of three molecules: how Galera Super works

The efficiency of "Galera Super" from the French division of Dow AgroSciences is based on a combination of three active ingredients: clopyralid, picloram, and aminopyralid. This formulation provides a powerful cumulative effect by disrupting the hormonal system of weeds. Unlike basic herbicides, this system blocks growth processes at the cellular level, causing the weed to perish from within.

Technical breakdown of the action

• Aminopyralid ensures systemic penetration: the substance moves rapidly through the phloem and xylem, reaching growing points even in the deepest parts of the root system.
• Picloram and clopyralid enhance efficacy against broadleaf weeds, ensuring fields are cleared of the most persistent threats like Canada thistle, creeping thistle, and cleavers.

The aqueous solution formulation promotes rapid absorption through the leaf surface. As a post-emergence systemic herbicide, Galera Super offers high selectivity: the crop (rapeseed, mustard) remains unharmed, while weeds are eliminated after a single application. It is ideal for controlling weed populations that emerge alongside the crop.

Practical application guidelines

Given the Category 3 hazard classification, application must adhere to safety protocols. A dosage rate of 0.2–0.3 L/ha is optimal for achieving maximum biological efficacy with a single treatment. The product effectively controls species such as common lambsquarters, black nightshade, wild buckwheat, scentless mayweed, and cornflower, preventing competition for nutrients and moisture during critical growth stages.
