Galian 240 EC

Israeli expertise in weed management

Galigan 240 EC by Makhteshim Agan stands as a benchmark in selective herbicide technology. Based on the active ingredient Oxyfluorfen, this herbicide is specifically engineered to protect onions and sunflowers from problematic weeds like white goosefoot (Chenopodium album) and green foxtail (Setaria viridis). Originating from Israel, this product combines precision with durability, making it a cornerstone for crop protection strategies globally.

Dual-Action Herbicide Mechanism

What sets Galigan 240 EC apart is its versatility in application methods. It acts as both a contact and a soil-applied (residual) herbicide. As a pre-emergence treatment, it establishes a barrier in the topsoil that prevents weed germination. As a post-emergence treatment, it provides a powerful knockdown effect on emerging seedlings by disrupting their cell membranes, which is characteristic of the diphenyl ether chemical family.

Operational Guidelines

• Application Flexibility: The formulation allows for up to 3 applications per season, offering growers the ability to manage weed flushes effectively.
• Dosage: Depending on soil type and weed pressure, recommended rates range from 0.5 to 1.0 liters per hectare.
• Selectivity: When used according to the specified growth stages of the crops, Galigan 240 EC provides excellent selectivity, ensuring that your onions or sunflowers remain competitive against invasive flora.

By integrating Galigan 240 EC into your field management, you opt for a solution that has been refined through years of agricultural practice. Its ability to serve as a versatile tool—both as a foliar herbicide and a soil-acting barrier—provides the peace of mind needed for successful crop development.
