Product details
Goal by Corteva Agriscience
A selective contact herbicide with pre-emergence and targeted post-emergence activity for specified crop programmes.
What it controls: Specified broadleaf weeds and grasses; the weed range differs by crop.
When to use it: Use the crop-specific pre-emergence or directed post-emergence timing printed on the supplied pack.
What to include: Use the matching crop programme, clean water and the protective equipment specified on the pack.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Protect the emergence window: Pre-emergence use forms a treated soil-surface barrier that affects susceptible weeds as they emerge.
- 🎯Target young emerged weeds: Contact activity provides a targeted post-emergence option where the crop label permits it.
- 🍃Broadleaf weed control: Includes specified broadleaf targets such as pigweed and goosefoot in the onion reference.
- 🌾Selected grass control: The supported crop references also cover specific grasses, rather than broadleaf weeds alone.
- 🛡️Selective crop use: Provides crop-specific weed control when placement and timing follow the approved label; it is not an unrestricted whole-field spray.

How It Works: Mode of Action
- Contact with the treatment: Emerging weeds contact the treated surface in pre-emergence use; post-emergence activity depends on contact with susceptible weed tissue.
- PPO inhibition: Oxyfluorfen inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase, causing phototoxic compounds to accumulate.
- Light-driven injury: In the presence of light, reactive oxygen damages cell membranes in susceptible weeds.
Alternate with effective products from a different mode-of-action group as part of a crop-specific resistance-management programme.

Dosage & Application Guide
The dose, water and harvest entries are formulation-level registration references, not a replacement for the supplied Goal label. Crop-specific timing, spray placement and restrictions must also be followed.

*A per-litre dose is not provided for area-based programmes. Measure the product for the treated area and use the corresponding water volume.
Onion and direct-sown rice: a complete application programme is not provided here because their harvest interval is not established in this guide. Obtain the full supplied-pack directions before treatment; do not read a missing interval as zero days.
Direct-sown rice reference is pre-emergence only. It must not be transferred to transplanted rice or a post-emergence rice spray.
Tea and mentha: verify the displayed formulation reference against the supplied pack, including the permitted timing and placement. Do not let spray contact crop tissues unless expressly permitted.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm crop and placement: Select only a use printed on the supplied pack. Pre-emergence and post-emergence directions are not interchangeable.
- Application method: Follow the crop-specific method and placement printed on the supplied Goal label. Do not infer soil application or foliar spraying from the formulation-reference dose table or from contact activity.
- Avoid drift: Keep spray away from neighbouring crops and unintended plant tissues.
- Avoid unapproved mixes: Do not add a sticker, spreader or another herbicide unless the supplied label or an authorised crop-specific recommendation permits it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Goal systemic?No. Goal is described as a selective contact herbicide. Its activity relies on contact with susceptible weeds.
Can it be used before weeds emerge?Yes, where the crop label permits pre-emergence use. It forms a treated soil-surface barrier that affects weeds during emergence.
Can I use the same rate on all crops?No. Crop programmes differ. The general range on a product page is not a substitute for crop-specific dose, water, timing and harvest directions.
Does the rice reference cover transplanted rice?No. The reference shown here is for direct-sown rice as a pre-emergence treatment.
Does a missing harvest interval mean immediate harvest is allowed?No. No complete onion or rice programme is supplied here. Obtain the applicable waiting period and full directions from the supplied pack before treatment.

Keep the original container closed and out of reach of children, away from food, feed and drinking water. Do not contaminate ponds, drains or waterways.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Goal’s safety data sheet identifies eye, skin, inhalation and aquatic hazards; follow the pack’s protective-equipment directions and keep spray and washings out of water.
