Gallant Herbicide by Corteva (Haloxyfop-R-methyl 10.5% EC)
The ultimate post-emergence solution for controlling tough grassy weeds in Soybean, Cotton, and Groundnut.
Corteva Gallant is a specialized systemic herbicide designed to eliminate grassy weeds without harming your broadleaf crops. Powered by Haloxyfop-R-methyl, it quickly penetrates weed leaves and travels to the roots, ensuring complete elimination of stubborn weeds like Viper grass and Barnyard grass. It is the perfect tool for keeping your fields clean during the critical Kharif season.
Best For: Farmers seeking a rainfast, highly selective herbicide that kills grasses from the tip to the root.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Rainfastness: Absorbs into the plant system within 1 hour. It remains effective even if it rains shortly after spraying, making it ideal for the monsoon season.
- ?️Crop Safety (Selectivity): Completely safe for broadleaf crops like Soybean, Groundnut, and Cotton. It attacks the specific enzymes found in grasses but leaves your crop untouched.
- ⏳Systemic Root Kill: Moves through the plant's vascular system to kill the roots and rhizomes, preventing perennial weeds like Bermuda grass from growing back.
- ?️Climate Resilient: Designed to work effectively in varied environmental conditions, providing consistent results even when weather patterns are erratic.
- ?Tough Weed Control: Specifically engineered to control difficult weeds like Viper grass (Dinebra arabica) and Barnyard grass that often escape other treatments.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Gallant targets the Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme, which is essential for lipid production in grasses. By blocking this enzyme, it stops the weed from building new cell membranes.
- Absorption: The spray is rapidly absorbed by the leaves and foliage of the weed.
- Translocation: The active ingredient moves through the plant's vascular system (phloem) to the roots and growing points.
- Elimination: Weed growth stops within 48 hours. The growing points turn brown (necrosis) in 10-14 days, followed by the complete death of the plant.
Note: Because it moves to the roots, it prevents regrowth, offering long-term field sanitation.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 400 - 500 ml | 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 ml | 60 - 75 |
| Groundnut | 400 - 500 ml | 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 ml | 86 - 90 |
| Cotton | 400 - 500 ml | 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 ml | 86 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when weeds are in the 2 to 4 leaf stage (early tillering). Weeds absorb the chemical best when they are young and actively growing.
- Mixing: Do NOT tank mix with broadleaf herbicides (like 2,4-D) as this reduces efficacy. Maintain a gap of 14 days between sprays.
- Coverage: Use the recommended water volume (200 Litres/acre). Grass leaves are narrow and vertical, so good spray coverage is essential for uptake.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How quickly does Gallant work?
Weed growth stops within 24-48 hours. Visual yellowing appears in 5-10 days, and complete death occurs within 14-21 days.
2. Can I mix Gallant with other herbicides?
It is compatible with Glyphosate but should generally NOT be mixed with broadleaf herbicides (like 2,4-D or Dicamba) to avoid antagonism.
3. Does it kill Motha (Sedges) or broadleaf weeds?
No. Gallant is a selective graminicide, meaning it only kills grasses. It has zero effect on sedges (Cyperus) or broadleaf weeds.
4. Is it safe for my Soybean crop?
Yes, it is highly selective. The enzyme it attacks in grasses is structurally different in broadleaf crops, making it safe when used at labeled rates.
5. What happens if it rains after spraying?
Gallant is rainfast within 1 hour. If it rains 60 minutes after application, you do not need to spray again.
