Dow AgroSciences Gallery SC specialty herbicide receives federal registration

Dow AgroSciences has received federal registration of its new liquid formulation Gallery SC specialty herbicide. The suspension concentrate formulation provides 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 reduces rinsing and disposal. The 2-gallon jug of Gallery SC applied at a rate of 1 quart per acre will cover 8.25 acres in a single container. It is available in 1-quart and 2-gallon containers.

“We have combined the superior performance you know from Gallery 75DF with a more user-friendly liquid formulation,” says Maureen Clark, Dow AgroSciences turf & 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, according to the company. It bonds tightly with soil particles and has a low water solubility, so it won’t move out of the weed germination zone.

The product will be available in the marketplace this fall.
