I. General Information 
Galaxy<' herbicide is intended for the early posterner­
gence control of a certain broad leaf weeds in peanuts 
and soybeans 
Crop Tolerance 
All peanut and soybean varieties are tolerant to Galaxy 
at all stages of growth. Leaf speckling may occur, but 
plants generally outgrow thiS condition within 10 days . 
New growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced. 
Cleaning Spray Equipment 
11f~ 
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a 
strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner accord­
ing to the manufacturer's directions and then triple 
rinsing before and after applying this product. 
-
II. Application Instructions 
Apply 2 pints of Galaxy per acre as follows unless 
instructed differently in Table 1. Application Timing. 
Applications can be rnade to actively growing weeds as 
aerial or broadcast applications at the rates and growth 
stages listed in Table 1. Application Timing. The 
most effective control will result from rnaking postemer­
gence applications of Galaxy early, when weeds are 
small. Early application to weeds results in improved 
weed control, and makes thorough spray coverage 
easier to obtain. Delaying application permits weeds to 
exceed the maximum size stated and will prevent ade­
quate control. 
Avoid drift to all other crops and nontarget areas. Do 
not apply when conditions favor drift from target areas 
or when windspeed is greater than 10 mph. 
Irrigation 
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before 
treatment to ensure active weed growth. Weeds 
growing under drought conditions usually are not ade­
quately controlled. 
Spray Coverage 
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with Spl JV. Alw8yS 
use an adequate volume of spray solution to ensure 
thorough coverage. DenSE-- IC:dl c;..nopies shelter smaller 
weeds and can prevent ac;oquatL spray C0vtjl J()e.

and ordinances. A drift control agent rnay reduce drift, 
however, it may also decrease weed control. 
Ground Application Methods and 
Equipment (Broadcast) 
Water Volume: Use 10 - 20 gallons of spray solution 
per broadcast acre for optirnal perforrnance. Increase 
water volurne up to 50 gallons if crop or weed foliage is 
dense 
Spray Pressure: Use a minimum of 40 psi (measured 
at the boom, not at the pump or in Ihe line). 
Note: When using the lower water volume (i.e., 1 J 
gallons per acre) or when crop and weed foliage is 
dense, use a minimum of 60 psi for best results. 
Application Equipment: Use stawJn' '11]h-preSsur3

III. Additives 
To achieve consistent weed control, one of the follow­
Ing additives are needed: ammonium sulfate, crop oil 
concentrate, or urea amonium nitrate. AMS (or UAN) 
should be used when velvet leaf is a primary target 
weed. Additives may cause some leaf burn, but new 
growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced. The 
potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humid­
Ity and temperature are high. See Table 3 Additive 
Rates Per Acre for additive rates and Table 2 
Additive Options for Galaxy Tank Mixes. 
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) 
AMS is a dry, granular nitrogen-source fertilizer. Use 
only fine feed-grade or spray-grade AMS because 
Infenor grades of AMS do not dissolve adequately and 
mn plug spray noules. BASF does not recommend 
applying AMS if applied In less than 10 gallons per acre 
because of potential problems with preclptation In 
reduced volumes. Use AMS only if it has been 
demonstrated to be successful in local experience. 
Nonionic Suriactant 
When required in a tank mix, the standard label recom­
mendation is 1 - 2 pints of an 80% active non ionic sur­
factant per 100 gallons of water. 
Oil Concentrate 
The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or 
vegetable 011 base and must meet all of the following cri­
teria 
• be nmlphytotoxic, 
• contain only EPA-exempt ingredients, 
• provide good mixing quality In the jar test, and 
• be successful in local experience. 
Tho exact composition of suitable products Will vary; 
t1ow8ver, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates 
Additive Options for Galaxy Tank Mixes 
should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing 
quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more 
satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. For additional 
information, see Compatibility Test for Mix 
Components. 
Some oil concentrates cause excessive leaf burn. Refer 
to your supplier for information concerning successful 
local experience before purchasing any oil concentrate. 
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) 
Commonly referrred to as 28%, 30% or 32% nitrogen 
solution, UAN may be added in place of other spray 
additives to improve weed control. Because most nltro~ 
gen solutions are mildly corrosive to galvanized, mild 
steel, and brass spray equipment, rme the entire spray 
system with water soon after use. Do not use brass or 
aluminum noules when spraying UAN. 
Oil Concentrate + Nitrogen Solution 
A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate (as referred to above) 
plus a nitrogen solution (UAN or AMS) can be added to 
the spray tank with GalaxY" herbicide. This combina­
tion is recommended for use in areas of low humidity 
and moderate temperatures when lambsquarters, 
ragweed, and velvetleaf are to be controlled. Excessive 
crop injury can occur with this combination in high 
humidity and high temperature regions. Do not exceed 
recommended rates and adjust additive rate propor­
tionately to spray volume applied. 
Temperature and Relative Humidity Effects 
The following standard (see Table 3) Will help 
determine the optimum adjuvant rate to use. If the 
temperature and relative humidity exceed 150 (e.g .. 
temperature of 85c F plus 70% relative humidity = 
155), use the lower additive rates.

using tank mixes other than those listed on BASF label­
Ing. Local agricultural authorities may be a source of 
information when using other than BASF recommended 
tank mixes. 
Compatibility Test for Mix Components 
Before mixing additives and/or other pestiCides, always 
perform a compatibility Jar test. 
For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups 
(800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates 
accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at 
the source temperature. 
Add components in the sequence Indicated In the 
Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 
teaspoon for each pint of recommended label rate per 
acre. 
Always cap the Jar and invert 10 cycles between com­
ponent additions. 
When the components have all been added to the jar, 
let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solu­
tion for uniformity and stability. The spray solution 
should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles 
that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) 
texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat 
the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable 
compatibility agent. If the solution is then compatible, 
use the compatibility agent as directed on its label. If the 
solution is still incompatible, do not mix the ingredients 
in the same tank. 
Mixing Order 
When mixing additives and/or other pesticides in a 
spray tank, add the products to be used in the following 
sequence. 
1) Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean 
sprayer tank three quarters full of clean water. 
2) Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout 
mixing and application 
3) Products in PVA bags: Place any product con­
tained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing 
tank. Wait until all water-soluble PYA bags have fully 
dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the 
spray tank before continuing. 
4) Water-dispersible products: (such as dry flow­
ables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, 
or suspo-emulsions). If an Inductor is used, rinse It 
thoroughly after the component has been added. 
5) Water-solubte products ( such as Galaxy) II dr I 
Inductor is used, nnse it thoroughly after the CGl"~u­
nent has been added. 
6) Emulsifiable concentrates (SUCll as oil concentrate 
when applicable). If an inductor is J~!j( I, rinse it thur­
oughly after the component hac been ddded. 
7) Water-soluble additives (suen 03 N1S or UAN 
when applicable). If an Inductor IS used, rinset t'lOI 
oughly after the component ha~-, ~)tOUI 2dded.
