• Weed spectrum and size at time of application GENERAL INFORMATION • Environmental conditions at and following treatment Where a rate range is shown, use the higher levels of the dosage range on hard-to-control species, fine-textured soils, or soils containing greater than 5% organic matter or carbon. Use the lower levels of the dosage range on coarse-textured soils and/or on soils low in organic matter. Refer to specific uses for rate ranges.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT AGRICULTURAL USES This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds.
NOTE: Severe alfalfa injury may result following application after cutting if either the regrowth is more than 2 inches high, significant stubble is left after alfalfa cutting, or the air temperature is above 90 °F.
pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Fill the supply tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water. 2.
• The printed side of the sign should face away from the treated area towards the sensitive area. The signs shall be printed in English. Signs must be posted prior to application and must remain posted until foliage has dried and soil surface water has disappeared. Signs may remain in place indefinitely as long as they are composed of materials to prevent deterioration and maintain legibility for the duration of the posting period.
• Do not use VELPAR® DF in low desert valleys in California or Arizona. USE PRECAUTIONS - ALFALFA • Best results are obtained when 1/2–1 inches of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation occurs within two weeks after application, when soil is moist at time of application, and when weeds have not germinated or are less than 2 inches in height or diameter. Heavy rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may result in crop injury or poor performance of the herbicide.
APPLICATION INFORMATION DuPont™ VELPAR® DF may only be applied to pruned blueberry fields in the spring before leaf emergence. Using calibrated ground spray equipment, make the application in sufficient water to provide thorough and uniform coverage to the treated area (usually 20 gallons per acre). Shut off spray booms when starting, turning, slowing or stopping, or injury to the crop may result.
First year plantings - Transplant stock that is 2 years old or more (1 year old for loblolly pine). Apply VELPAR® DF only if rainfall has settled the soil around the base and root systems of the transplants. Established trees - Trees that have been planted in the plantation for 1 year or more.
–Applications to soils high in organic matter (greater than 5%).
For preemergence use only, DuPont™ VELPAR® DF may be applied with aerial equipment using at least 10 gallons of spray per acre. For spot treatments of emerged weeds, VELPAR® DF may be applied with a knapsack sprayer in concentrations of 0.6 - 4.8 pounds per 100 gallons of water. Apply a sufficient volume to thoroughly wet weed foliage, but do not exceed 40 gallons of spray per treated acre.
USE PRECAUTIONS - SUGARCANE APPLICATION INFORMATION • Do not plant any crop other than sugarcane following an application of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF. • Do not feed sugarcane forage to livestock. • Do not apply VELPAR® DF: - Within 180 days of harvest in Hawaii. - Within 234 days of harvest in Louisiana. - Within 288 days of harvest in Puerto Rico. - Within 234 days of harvest in Texas.
vegetation only after any residual stand is completely defoliated, at least twice, allowing for sufficient root uptake of VELPAR® DF. In the West, results may take one to two years in areas of low rainfall.
For multi-stemmed and low-growing brush that have stem diameters that are difficult to determine, apply the DuPont™ VELPAR® DF suspension at the rate of 2 to 4 ml per 3 feet of canopy width. For tall, slender (columnar) brush types, apply 4 to 8 ml per 3 feet of height. Base the rate on whichever canopy dimension is greater (width or height).
Soil Description Loamy sand, sandy loam Loam, silt loam, sandy clay loam Silt, silty clay loam, clay loam, sandy clay, silty clay, clay DuPont™ VELPAR® DF (Lb/Acre) GRID APPLICATION Mix 2 2/3 pounds of VELPAR® DF with sufficient water to make one gallon of suspension and thoroughly agitate. Intermittent agitation may be required to maintain the VELPAR® DF in suspension. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension directly to the soil surface in a grid pattern using an exact delivery handgun applicator.
EASTERN US USE PRECAUTIONS RELEASE - GRID & SINGLE STEM VELPAR® DF (Lb/Acre) First Year Established • Application of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF spots closer than 36 inches to conifer seedlings in their first season or directly up slope from these seedlings may result in injury or mortality.
drift and associated injury may be aggravated by high wind conditions. FORESTRY IMPREGNATION ON DRY BULK FERTILIZER • The dry fertilizer must be properly impregnated and uniformly applied to avoid pine injury/mortality and poor weed and brush control. DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for impregnating or coating dry bulk fertilizer to be applied on forested sites for the establishment or release of conifer plantations (except longleaf pine) as specified on this label.
APPLICATION INFORMATION –On gravelly or rocky soils, exposed subsoils, clay knobs, sand, or sandy soil with 85% or more sand. Make a single application of VELPAR® DF per year when weeds are actively growing. • Do not cut treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic animals on treated areas for 60 days following application. WEEDS CONTROLLED - USE RATES VELPAR® DF effectively controls the following weeds at the rates shown in pastures.
PASTURE / RANGELAND BRUSH CONTROL SPRAY EQUIPMENT AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for the control of undesirable brush in pasture or rangeland. Basal (Soil)-Mix 2 2/3 pounds of VELPAR® DF with sufficient water to make one gallon of suspension and thoroughly agitate. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension with an exact-delivery handgun applicator. This equipment delivers a thin stream of predetermined volume when triggered.

SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS USE PRECAUTIONS INDUSTRIAL UNIMPROVED TURF Control of Canada Thistle in Crown Vetch - DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for control of Canada thistle in established stands of crown vetch on noncrop sites. Make a single application of 1 - 1 2/3 lb of VELPAR® DF from late spring through mid-summer, when thistle is actively growing prior to flowering. Do not use a surfactant. Some discoloration of the crown vetch foliage may occur after application.
* Suppression – a visible reduction in plant population and/or plant vigor as compared to an untreated area and generally not accepted as control. When treating brush that requires more than a single delivery of the DuPont™ VELPAR® DF suspension, apply subsequent deliveries equally spaced around the target plant. If treating brush on sloping sites, apply most of the suspension on the uphill side of the stem.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GENERAL TECHNIQUES SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Surface inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
