Controls weeds Galex, a new liquid herbicide from Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd., is now available for controlling most broadleaf weeds and annual grasses. Research shows us that triazine- resistant weeds like lamb's - quarters or redroot pigweed are present at some level in one-third of soybean fields, says Ciba-Geigy Product Manager, Bob McNaughton. Also, he says that nightshade is continuing its spread into the non- traditional soybean areas. Galex controls these broadleaf weeds, including triazine-resistant types, and provides control of American nightshade and annual grasses. Growers can control all of these weeds with one pre -emergent application — no mixing, no mess. Galex also provides good crop safety and can be used on metribuzin-sensitive varieties. The product is available in 10 -litre plastic jugs in limited quantities for 1986. There will be enough for about 5,000 hectares or 12,000 acres. For more information contact: Bob McNaughton, Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd., Agricultural Divi- sion, 6860 Century Ave., Mississauga, Ont., L5N 2W5 or call 1-416-821-4420. Drive-through Gate Gallagher Power Fencing Systems is introducing a drive- through electrified gate. Called the Hot Rod Gate, the product was developed by farmers who were bothered by having to continually stop, open the gate, drive through, close the gate, and by the ensuing problems that arose when gates were not closed properly. The Hot Rod Gate features a fibreglass rod, electrified through its conducting carbon coating, which can swing in any direction, even downward, yet will always automatically return to its closed position, even on a windy day. It can also be pivoted and locked into the vertical position for completely free access through the gateway. The Gallagher Hot Rod gate can be quickly attached without tools
