• 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, if after cutting the regrowth is more than 2 inches high, or there is significant stubble left after cutting or grazing, or the air temperature is above 90 °F.
SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
FLOOD IRRIGATED ALFALFA • Do not permit run-off during chemigation.

USE PRECAUTIONS • Do not apply through any type of irrigation system. • Do not apply within 90 days of harvest. • Do not apply to flooded field with standing water. • Application to blueberry foliage will result in crop injury. • Since the effect of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF on blueberries varies with soil type, plant vigor, uniformity of applications and amount of rainfall, it is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas.
WEEDS CONTROLLED CHRISTMAS TREES DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for the control or suppression of the following species in high and low bush blueberry crops: Aster, heath* Barnyardgrass Blackberry* (briar) Bluegrass, Kentucky (perennial)* Brome, downy (cheatgrass) Broomsedge* Carrot, wild* Catchfly, English Chamomile, mayweed Cherry, wild Chickweed, common Cinquefoil Cockle, white* Dandelion, common* Dandelion, false* (spotted catsear) Daisy, oxeye Dock, curly* Dogfennel Fescue* Fiddleneck, tarweed Fil
First year plantings - Transplant stock that is 2 years old or more (1 year old for loblolly pine). Apply DuPont™ 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%).
WEEDS CONTROLLED For preemergence use only, 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 Use the following rates according to the different soil textures: DuPont™ VELPAR® DF (Lb/Acre) Soils Preemergence + Layby Coarse Texture* Sandy loam 1/3 1/3 Medium Texture Loam, silt loam 9/10 9/10 Fine Texture 1 1/3 1 1/3 Clay loam * With at least 2% organic matter On dormant cane, a surfactant may be added to the spray mixture to increase control of emerged weeds. • Do not plant any crop other than sugarcane following an application of VELPAR® DF.
APPLICATION INFORMATION PLANTS CONTROLLED EASTERN US VELPAR® DF is recommended for the control or suppression of the following species in site preparations for forestry crops: Apply DuPont™ VELPAR® DF from early spring to early summer after hardwoods have broken bud and before the foliage has hardened off.
vegetation only after any residual stand is completely defoliated, at least twice, allowing for sufficient root uptake of DuPont™ 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 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.
APPLICATION INFORMATION EASTERN US Apply DuPont™ VELPAR® DF from early spring to early summer after hardwoods have broken bud and before full leaf expansion. Applications made over the top of pines may result in excessive pine injury under conditions of high humidity and temperature (80 degrees F). WESTERN US Rainbelt (areas of high spring rainfall): For best results, apply in late winter or spring when brush is actively growing, but prior to conifer budbreak.
GRID APPLICATION USE PRECAUTIONS RELEASE - GRID & SINGLE STEM Mix 2 2/3 pounds of DuPont™ 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. This equipment delivers a thin stream of predetermined volume.

drift and associated injury may be aggravated by high wind conditions. –On gravelly or rocky soils, exposed subsoils, clay knobs, sand, or sandy soil with 85% or more sand. • The dry fertilizer must be properly impregnated and uniformly applied to avoid pine injury/mortality and poor weed and brush control. • Do not cut treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic animals on treated areas for 60 days following application.
APPLICATION INFORMATION PASTURE / RANGELAND BRUSH CONTROL Make a single application of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF per year when weeds are actively growing. VELPAR® DF is recommended for the control of undesirable brush in pasture or rangeland. WEEDS CONTROLLED - USE RATES APPLICATION INFORMATION VELPAR® DF effectively controls the following weeds at the rates shown in pastures. Use a lower rate on coarse-textured soils (sand to sandy loam).
SPRAY EQUIPMENT AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES NON-AGRICULTURAL USES Basal (Soil)-Mix 2 2/3 pounds of DuPont™ 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. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension at the rate of 2 to 4 ml for each inch of stem diameter at breast height.

USE PRECAUTIONS INDUSTRIAL UNIMPROVED TURF should be proportional to the original tree size, not just the size of sprout regrowth. • Use DuPont™ VELPAR® DF only in stands of bermudagrass and bahiagrass established for at least one year. Do not treat newly sprigged or sodded areas. • Some discoloration of the bermudagrass or bahiagrass may occur after application. • Injury may result when desirable grasses are under stress from drought, insects, disease, cold temperature, or poor fertility.
USE PRECAUTIONS NON-CROP CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GENERAL TECHNIQUES • Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is applied or if equipment is drained or flushed on or near desirable trees or other plants, on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 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. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning.
