Gallery will also prevent germination of which seed?

• A. Dandelion seed germination.
• B. Crabgrass seed germination.
• C. All weed seeds.
• D. No seed germination.

Answer: (A)

Gallery is a preemergent herbicide used in turf to stop many dicot (broadleaf) weeds from germinating. It works by disrupting cell wall formation in young seedlings, so broadleaf seeds like dandelion fail to establish when they try to germinate. It isn’t effective on grasses, so crabgrass germination isn’t prevented by this product. It also doesn’t stop all weed seeds or prevent every seed from germinating. So the seed germination most reliably prevented by Gallery is dandelion.
