Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

Galleon SC may be applied directly into water or sprayed onto emergent foliage of aquatic plants or exposed sediment after drawdown. Depending upon method of application and target plant, Galleon SC is absorbed by aquatic vascular plants through emergent or floating leaves, from water through submersed plant shoots, or from hydrosoil by roots. For in-water treatments, rapid water movement or any condition resulting in rapid dilution of Galleon SC in treated water will reduce its effectiveness. Herbicidal symptoms of Galleon SC include: immediate growth inhibition, a chlorotic growing point with some tissue reddening, necrosis of the terminal bud after 2 or more weeks of exposure, and slow plant death over
a period of 60 to 120 days or longer depending upon conditions for in- water applications. The level of control will depend upon timing of initial application, application rate or concentration, exposure period, and weed species. Species susceptibility to Galleon SC may vary depending upon time of year, stage of growth, and water movement. For best results, apply Galleon SC immediately after weeds begin active growth. Application to mature target plants may require higher application rates and longer exposure periods to achieve control.

This label describes both required and recommended uses of a chemical analysis for the active ingredient. SePRO Corporation recommends the use of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of the active ingredient concentration in water. Contact SePRO Corporation for the incorporation of this analysis, known as a FasTEST, into your treatment program. Other proven chemical analysis for the active ingredient may also be used. The FasTEST is referenced in this label as the preferred method for the rapid determination of the concentration of the active ingredient in the water.

Directions for Use

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying.

Shake Well Before Using

IMPORTANT: Do not use water from any treated site for food crop irrigation until concentrations are determined to be less than or equal to 1 ppb (see exceptions under Applications to Waters Used For Irrigation section of this label). Concentrations in food-crop irrigation water must be monitored until concentrations are 1 ppb or less. Water samples must be collected and analyzed using FasTEST or other approved analytical methods. Please refer to all precautions and restrictions under the Applications to Waters Used for Irrigation section of this label.

Do not make in-water applications to areas subject to rapid dilution of treated water and/or where sufficient exposure with targeted vegetation cannot be maintained, such as small spot or shoreline treatments in larger bodies of water.

Precautionary Statements

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals

Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing spray mist.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

For all types of applications, mixers and loaders must wear:

  • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants;
  • Shoes plus socks; and
  • Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material.

For in-water (i.e., subsurface) applications, applicators must wear:

  • Short-sleeved shirt and long pants:
  • Shoes plus socks; and
  • Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material.

For non-water applications, applicators must wear:

  • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants;
  • Shoes plus socks, and
  • Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material.

Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

Drift and runoff may be hazardous to non-target plants in neighboring areas if not used in accordance to label directions.

Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.

For aquatic applications: Do not apply to water except as specified on the label.

For terrestrial applications: Do not apply where runoff is likely to occur. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas.

Storage & Handling

Storage And Disposal

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage and disposal.

Pesticide Storage: Store in cool dry place in original container.

Pesticide Disposal: Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.

Container Disposal

Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recycling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities.

Triple rinse containers small enough to shake (capacity s5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 14 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.

Triple rinse containers too large to shake (capacity >5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 14 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times.

Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal . Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide only. DO NOT reuse this container for any other purpose. Triple rinsing the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller.

Triple rinse as follows: To clean the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the container about 10% full with water. Agitate vigorously or recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collection system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more times. When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all openings that have been opened during use; return the container to the point of purchase or to a designated location. This container must only be refilled with a pesticide product. Prior to refilling, inspect carefully for damage such as cracks, punctures, abrasions, wom-out threads and closure devices. Check for leaks after refilling and before transport. DO NOT transport if this container is damaged or leaking. If the container is damaged, or leaking, or obsolete and not returned to the point of purchase or to a designated location, triple rinse emptied container and offer for recycling, if available, or dispose of container in compliance with state and local regulations.
