What is Galleon SC?
Galleon SC is the first acetolactate synthase inhibitor (ALS) fully registered by U.S. EPA for submersed weed control. Galleon SC is classified as an EPA Reduced-Risk Aquatic Herbicide based on its use characteristics and toxicology. Galleon SC provides a much-needed, additional systemic mode of action for hydrilla control in integrated control programs designed for improved herbicide resistance management. • Key target aquatic weed species: hydrilla, water hyacinth, water lettuce, salvinia species, frog’s bit and duckweed. • Multiple forms of application give flexibility to choose best management option: • Injection for large-scale, in-water treatment of submersed and floating species • Foliar sprays via ground, boat, or aerial application for targeted treatments of floating and emergent species • Direct application to exposed littoral sediment for pre-emergence control following drawdown or other low-water events. • In-water treatments of hydrilla with Galleon SC at sustained doses o
