Galil

Crop Protection Excellence by ADAMA

Galil, developed by ADAMA Makhteshim Ltd. of Israel, is a high-performance insecticide and acaricide that has earned a solid reputation among growers globally. By utilizing bifenthrin, a highly effective pyrethroid, this formulation offers a robust dual-action approach: it functions both as a contact killer and a potent acaricide, providing control over stubborn pests and mite populations that threaten yield quality.

Versatility and Field Application

One of the primary reasons for the market success of Galil is its versatility across various cropping systems. Designed for use as a foliar spray, it integrates seamlessly into modern crop management programs for:

• Cereals: Critical protection for winter wheat and barley.
• Oilseeds and Legumes: Ensuring the health of oilseed rape, sunflower, and soybean crops.
• Vegetables: A vital tool for onion and tomato producers, where pest control is essential for high-grade market produce.
• Forage: Effective management for fodder beet fields.

Formulated as a suspension concentrate, Galil offers stability and ease of application, ensuring uniform coverage across the leaf surface upon spraying during the vegetative stage.

Application Guidelines

To maximize efficacy, it is recommended to apply Galil at a rate of 0.3 to 0.5 liters per hectare. The product allows for up to two applications per season, providing flexibility during peak pest pressure periods. Growers must adhere strictly to the pre-harvest interval (PHI), which ranges from 20 to 30 days depending on the crop. Classified as a Hazard Class 2 product, safety precautions and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment are mandatory during mixing and application to ensure safe handling.
