One of the most acclaimed products in weed control, the Gallup 360 Glyphosphate Weed Killer when tried and tested through critical eyes was par excellence. Let’s see what makes it the strongest weed killer on the market:
Getting Acquainted with the Gallup 360 Glyphosphate Weed Killer
A systemic industrial weed killer, the Gallup 360 Glyphosphate Weed Killer is apt for most broad-leaved weeds and grasses in amenity and industrial situations, forestry and aquatic areas too. It is meant to be used only as a herbicide. Suitable for the control of annual and perennial grass and broad-leaved weeds, it can be used in stubbles, set aside, orchards, forestry, and non-crop areas, and is also effective for pre-harvest use in cereals, oilseed rape and linseed. This versatile nature of the Gallup 360 makes it an ideal choice for all types of weed control.
Key benefits of Gallup Biograde Weed Killer:
- Non-selective industrial weed killer, non-residual
- Wide range of applications
- Flexible application rates
- Systemic activity gives effective control of roots, shoots and leaves
- Controls a wide variety of annual and perennial weed species
Working Mechanism
The secret behind the effectiveness of the Gallup 360 Weed Killer is the Glyphosate. Glyphosate is known to be a non-selective, systemic herbicide. It ingests into a weed through the leaves and stalk and afterward spreads all through the plant, hindering the functioning of its enzymatic system which in turn kills the entire weed, including the root.
A very flexible herbicide, the Gallup 360 Glyphosphate Weed Killer can be used any time of the year, and is especially effective when growth is active and leaves are well developed to absorb the herbicide. The unique formulation ensures that the herbicide gets readily absorbed.
The beauty of this product is that it does not leech and gets readily absorbed into the soil. Also, various soil residing bacteria break down the ingredients into harmless natural substances.
Suggested Usage
The Gallup 360 Glyphosphate Weed Killer is very versatile and can be used in a variety of applications including along fences and walls, around buildings, and around tree bases too. The freedom to use it everywhere makes it an even better herbicide and farmers from all over are loving it. It can be used for control of emergent and floating aquatic weeds, on industrial sites, on paths, pavements and driveways and is great for site preparation for landscaping.

How soon after application before I am able to seed for grass!
Hello Bernard, you can begin seeding grass after the solution has dried up.
Still want to know having used Gallup 360 on my weeds how soon after would I be able to seed for a grass lawn.
I have used Gallup and indeed it is an excellent weed killer in my experience. However I now have two cats. Is it safe to use Gallup 360 on areas where pets roam freely, particularly hard surface areas?
Many Thanks
Eamonn Donnelly

Does 360 kill moss ?
Hello Sue, it is definitely powerful enough to kills moss but perhaps you might want to take a look at specific products designed to kill moss.
We would like to use this product on our pool terrace, where numerous weeds and grasses grow between the flagstones. Will this cause a problem if some should find its way into the pool itself?
Hello Steve, Gallup 360 does not respond well to water contamination and is not apt for use in aquatic environments. As a result, you will need to be careful when applying the herbicide. I suggest you look into the Hozelock wonder weeder as it allows you to target each weed one by one, eliminating the possibility of drifting.
If I was to use Gallup 360 near to conifers would I be in danger of affecting their growth. I have a long hedge and want to avoid leaf damage.
Hello Simon, this weed killer is a non-selective herbicide so it will damage any plant or tree it comes into contact with. You can use a tool such as the hozelock wonder weeder to restrict the areas to which you want to apply the weed killer.
Hello, does Gallup 360 work on rashes/reeds?
Thank you.
Hello Polly, yes it works on broad leaved grasses such as rushes and reeds.
Hi can I use this product to spray allotment after rotorvating before planting
Hello Peter, it is more reasonable to apply the weed killer before rotavating to make sure the herbicide is biodegraded into the soil. You can also use your rotavator to kill weeds on its own because the rotavating mechanism stops weeds from making energy through photosynthesis.
i sprayed my garden today i think i way under diluded the mixture so its super strong, how long will it take to kill the weeds And how long from today will i be ready to rotavate and plant my new klawn ???
Hello Gen, the weeds should be killed within a reasonable time frame. As per rotavating, wait until Gallup is dry and the weeds appear dead enough that they can be removed easily. Albeit, you can also rotavate your lawn which is known to be an effective way to kills weeds. You can access more information about rotavating here
