Gallant Herbicide is a systemic, post-emergence herbicide containing Haloxyfop-R-Methyl 10.5% EC as an active ingredient. It is used to control annual grassy weeds in soybean crop. It helps to reduce weed competition with crop for nutrients, water, sunlight, and space, resulting in better crop growth and yield.
Gallant Technical Name
Haloxyfop-R-Methyl 10.5% EC
Product Specifications
Mode of Entry: Systemic
Time of Application: Post-emergence
Mode of Action: Haloxyfop-R-Methyl belongs to the Aryloxyphenoxy Propionate group of herbicides. It inhibits the Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme, which is essential for fatty acid synthesis in grassy weeds. After being absorbed through the leaves, it moves throughout the weed plant, stopping growth and eventually causing the weeds to dry and die.
