Gallery (isoxaben) is primarily designed to control which type of weeds?

• A. Annual broadleaf weeds.
• B. Crabgrass.
• C. Perennial grasses.
• D. Sedges.

Answer: (A)

Gallery contains a preemergence herbicide that targets only newly germinating weed seedlings, specifically annual broadleaf weeds. It works by interfering with a process needed for broadleaf seedling development, so it prevents these seedlings from establishing in the turf. Because it’s preemergent, it must be applied before the weeds germinate to be effective. It does not affect established grasses or sedges, and it doesn’t control grassy weeds like crabgrass. Therefore, the type of weeds it’s designed to control are annual broadleaf weeds.
