ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. VELPAR L should be used only in accordance with recommendations on this label, or in supplemental DuPont publications. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.
WEEDS CONTROLLED ALFALFA VELPAR L, when applied preemergence or early postemergence at the following rates, will control these species: 1–2 Pt/Acre VELPAR L is recommended for control of certain weeds in established alfalfa grown for hay, except in the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. Do not use on alfalfa grown for seed in any state except California.
REPLANTING (FOLLOWING ALFALFA) - alfalfa is healthy and vigorous, not growing under stress from insect, disease, winter injury or other types of stress. • Do not replant treated areas to any crop except corn, root crops or sugarcane within two years after treatment, as crop injury may result. Injury may result to alfalfa plants that fail to meet these growth criterion listed above.
Use a minimum of 250 lb dry bulk fertilizer per acre and up to a maximum of 450 lb per acre. To impregnate or coat the dry bulk fertilizer with VELPAR L, direct the nozzles to deliver a fine spray towards the fertilizer for thorough coverage while avoiding spray contact with mixing equipment. Uniform impregnation of VELPAR L to dry bulk fertilizer will vary, and if the absorptivity is not adequate, the use of an absorptive powder may be required to produce a dry, freeflowing mixture.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - PINEAPPLE PUERTO RICO • Use the lower rates on coarse-textured soils or in areas where rainfall exceeds 65" per year. • Use the higher rates on fine-textured soils or in areas where rainfall is less than 65" per year. • Do not exceed 1.8 gal VELPAR L per acre per crop. • Do not apply VELPAR L within 181 days of harvest. For preemergence treatments, apply 0.9–1.8 pt of VELPAR L per acre. For postemergence treatments, apply 0.9–1.

VELPAR L PLUS “GARLON 4”2 Selection of the rate per acre and grid pattern will depend on soil texture and woody plant composition. Use the lower rates on coarse textured soils and when the major component of the hardwoods are susceptible species. Use the high rates on fine-textured soils and hard-to-kill species. Application Patterns and Rates For Undiluted VELPAR L ML/Spot Grid (Ft) Qt/Acre Coarse 0.6 3X3 3 2.0 4X4 6 3.1 4X6 6 Medium/Fine 1.6 3X3 8 2.8 4X4 8 3.5 4X4 10 5.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - SITE PREPARATION USE RATES The rates listed below are for broadcast application. Do not use more than one application of VELPAR L per year. Where burning is desired, burn the vegetation only after any residual brush has completely defoliated, at least twice, allowing for sufficient root uptake of VELPAR L Following harvest, allow sufficient time for stumps and injured trees to adequately resprout before applying VELPAR L.
BRUSH SUPPRESSION SINGLE STEM (BASAL SOIL) SPRAY EQUIPMENT Apply undiluted VELPAR L to the soil with an exact delivery handgun applicator. Apply at the rate of 2–4 ml for each inch of stem diameter at breast height. Direct the treatment to the soil within 3 ft of the root collar of woody plants to be controlled. When treating large stems and when more than one delivery of VELPAR L is needed per stem, make application on opposite sides of the stem.
APPLICATION TIMING IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - FORESTRY EASTERN US • Do not use VELPAR L in nurseries, seedbeds, or ornamental plantings. • On tracts of land where various soil types are present and VELPAR L rate selection is difficult, conifer damage or lessthan-expected vegetation suppression may occur due to the different rates required for various soil types.
3–4 Gal/Acre NON-AGRICULTURAL USES Bahiagrass* Bermudagrass* Blackberry Bluegrass Broomsedge Camphorweed Canada thistle* Chickweed Clovers Dewberry Dogfennel* Fescue* Fingergrass Foxtail NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT SPRAY EQUIPMENT AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES Apply VELPAR L uniformly over the desired area using ground equipment only. BROADCAST MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Apply 2–4 gal of VELPAR L per acre as a coarse spray using ground equipment only. Use enough water for thorough coverage, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. For ground application, use enough water for thorough coverage usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. The use of a surfactant is not recommended.
roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. • Weed and brush control results from spring applications depend on sufficient moisture to activate VELPAR L. • Do not cut treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic animals on treated areas for 60 days following application. For rates above 3 gal per acre, do not cut treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic animals for 1 year.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - PASTURE /RANGELAND CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - AIRCRAFT • Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. • Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT LIMITATION OF WARRANTY AND LIABILITY Thoroughly clean all traces of VELPAR L from application equipment immediately after use. Flush the tank, pump, hoses, and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately). NOTICE: Read This Limitation of Warranty and Liability Before Buying or Using This Product. If the Terms Are Not Acceptable, Return the Product at Once, Unopened, and the Purchase Price Will Be Refunded.
