Cautions and Precautions

Skip to Cautions and Precautions

Do not apply to newly transplanted plants until the media or soil has settled and no cracks are present. Do not apply to bedding plants or areas where bedding plants will be planted within the next year. Do not apply to groundcovers until they are well rooted. Do not apply more than 4 pounds of Gallery in 12 months, and repeat applications of 1 pound per acre should not be applied less than 60 days after the previous application. Injury to Euonymus alatus compacta, Hydrangea spp., hybrid lilac, ajuga, yucca, foxglove, stachys, some Veronica spp. and several bedding plant species have been reported. See label for details and additional precautions.

Residual Activity

Skip to Residual Activity

Length of residual weed control varies considerably. In the southeastern United States, 60 to 90 days of residual weed control can be expected. Residual control in the Northeastern U.S. and similar climates may be considerably longer; over 6 months residual control of susceptible broadleaf weeds has been reported in the western and Northeastern United States. In container nursery crops, residual weed control typically lasts no more than 60 days.

Volatility and Leaching Potential

Skip to Volatility and Leaching Potential

No significant photodecomposition or volatilization occurs with field use. Slightly susceptible to leaching and surface runoff in poorly drained soils.
