GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICATION INFORMATION DuPont™ VELPAR® DF herbicide is a water-dispersible granule that is mixed in water and applied as a spray for weed control in certain crops, Christmas trees, forestry site preparation and release areas, and industrial areas. It may also be applied as a basal soil treatment for brush control in reforestation areas, rangeland, pastures and noncrop areas.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE APPLICATION TIMING` It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. DuPont™ VELPAR® DF should be used only in accordance with recommendations on this label, or in supplemental DuPont labeling. 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.
1/3 - 2/3 Lb/Acre Flood Irrigated Alfalfa • When replanting alfalfa to other crops where flood irrigation was used, follow the guidelines listed above plus the information below: In arid climates (10 inches of rainfall or less per year) or areas where drought conditions have prevailed for one or more years, a field bioassay should be completed prior to planting any desired crop. The results of this bioassay may require the rotation intervals listed above to be extended.
• Do not use DuPont™ VELPAR® DF in low desert valleys in California or Arizona. • Do not add a surfactant to VELPAR® DF when treating nondormant alfalfa. • Do not use VELPAR® DF on gravelly or rocky soils, exposed subsoils, hardpan, sand, poorly drained soil, or alkali soils. • Crop injury, including mortality, may result in fields with restricted root growth due to nonuniform soil profiles such as gravel bases and clay lenses.
Areas of less than 20 inches annual rainfall - DuPont™ VELPAR® DF may be applied in the fall before the soil freezes or in the spring after snow cover melts, but before conifer bud break occurs. USE PRECAUTIONS - CHRISTMAS TREES USE RATES • Do not add a surfactant in applications over the top of conifers. • Do not use VELPAR® DF in nurseries, seed beds, or ornamental plantings. The rates listed below are for broadcast application.
VELPAR® DF (Lb/Acre) (Plus surfactant 0.25% by volume) • Prior to forcing first ratoon - Apply DuPont™ VELPAR® DF as a broadcast spray in 100–400 gal of water per acre at the rate of 1/3 - 2 1/3 lb per acre. Soils Coarse Texture Sand, loamy sand, sandy loam 2/3 - 1 2/10 Medium Texture Loam, silt loam, silty clay loam 2/3 - 2 1/3 Fine Texture Clay, gray hydromorphic clay 2 1/3 - 4 8/10 Use the higher levels of the recommended dosage ranges on soils high in organic matter.
followed by a layby treatment, provided at least 60 days have elapsed and 3 inches of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation have occurred since the first treatment. Do not apply more than 2 1/3 lb of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF per acre per season.
Applications made to shelter wood sites may also result in mortality to over-story conifers. Factors that may influence conifer sensitivity in these sites could include application rate, conifer species, soil characteristics, uniformity of spray distribution across the treatment swath and environmental stress.
only after brush has completely defoliated at least once, allowing sufficient root uptake of VELPAR® DF (usually 60-90 days after adequate rainfall). SPRAY EQUIPMENT When applied as a liquid spray using water as the carrier, DuPont™ VELPAR® DF may be applied by ground equipment or by air (helicopter only). • Before using “Tordon 101” Mixture, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the product label.
made after bud break, use directional spray equipment to prevent contact with conifer foliage, as injury may result. Snowbelt (areas of low spring rainfall): For best results, apply in the fall before soil freezes and after the final resting bud has hardened on the conifers. Or, spring applications may be made after snow cover melts in anticipation of rainfall prior to conifer budbreak.
BRUSH SUPPRESSION SINGLE STEM (BASAL SOIL) DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for the control or suppression of the following species: 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. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension at the rate of 2 to 4 ml for each inch of stem diameter at breast height.
WESTERN US Rainbelt (areas of high spring rainfall): For best results, apply as a broadcast or banded spray in the late winter or spring when weeds are actively growing, but prior to conifer budbreak. If application is made after conifer bud break, use directional spray equipment to prevent contact with conifer foliage, as injury may result.
• Uniform and precise application of the impregnated fertilizer is essential for satisfactory weed and brush control and to minimize pine injury. Overlaps or skips between adjoining swaths or non-uniform distribution of impregnated fertilizer within the swath will deliver poor results and may result in pine injury or mortality.

than 5%). SPRAY EQUIPMENT AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES • Following mechanical cutting or clearing, allow stumps and injured trees sufficient time to adequately resprout before applying VELPAR® DF. BROADCAST Apply 5 1/3 to 10 2/3 lb of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF per acre as a coarse spray by ground equipment or 5 1/3 to 8 lb per acre by air (helicopter only). Use enough water for thorough coverage. For ground equipment, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre.
• Treatment of mixed pastures containing forage species other than bermudagrass or bahiagrass may result in injury or mortality to the other forage species. SPRAY EQUIPMENT AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES 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.
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. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator.
