Goal 2XL is a postemergence herbicide used for weed control in various crops. Its active ingredient is oxyfluorfen (22.3%). It is designed to control a wide variety of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and some grasses. The product can be applied as a preemergence weed control during seeding or as a postemergence treatment. It is effective when applied to soil surfaces that are clean of crop or weed residues. For postemergence use, it is a contact herbicide, meaning it can cause crop injury if sprayed directly on plant tissue; therefore, careful application is required to avoid contact with the desired crop. The label specifies different application rates based on the target weed pressure and crop type, often requiring the addition of a nonionic surfactant to enhance efficacy. Users must follow specific timing restrictions, such as avoiding application during certain months to prevent crop injury. Handling requires personal protective equipment (PPE) including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, and shoes plus socks. It is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and should not be applied directly to water or areas where surface water is present.
