IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - SUGARCANE

Do not plant any crop other than sugarcane following an application of VELPAR L.

Do not feed sugarcane forage to livestock.

Do not apply VELPAR L:

•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.

To avoid injury to sugarcane, observe the following precautions:

•Do not use VELPAR L on cane that shows poor vigor because of insect damage, disease, or winter injury, or shows symptoms of other stress conditions such as drought stress.

•Do not add a surfactant in applications unless otherwise specified or allowed.

•Do not use VELPAR L on gravelly or rocky soils, thinly covered subsoils, or coarse-textured soils (sands to sandy loams) with less than 1% organic matter.

•Temporary chlorosis of the crop may result from application over emerged cane. Applications during active cane growth should be directed to cover the weeds and soil while minimizing crop contact.

•Do not use VELPAR L on varieties known to be susceptible to weed killers.

Extremely heavy rainfall after application may result in poor weed control and/or crop injury, especially if the application is made to dry soil.

FORESTRY

SITE PREPARATION

VELPAR L is recommended for weed and brush control in areas where the following species are grown:

EASTERN US AND LAKE STATES

Austrian pine

Red spruce

Balsam fir

Scotch pine

Black spruce

Shortleaf pine

Loblolly pine

Slash pine

Longleaf pine

Virginia pine

Ponderosa pine

White spruce

Red pine

 

WESTERN US

 

Blue spruce

Lodgepole pine

Douglas fir

Noble fir

Engleman spruce

Ponderosa pine

Grand fir

Sitka spruce

Jeffrey pine

White fir

APPLICATION TIMING

EASTERN US

Apply VELPAR L from early spring to early summer after hardwoods have broken bud and before the foliage has hardened off.

WESTERN US

Rainbelt (areas of high spring rainfall): For best results, apply in late winter or spring when weeds and brush are actively growing.

Snowbelt (areas of low spring rainfall): For best results, apply in the fall before soil freezes, or in the spring after snow cover melts in anticipation of rainfall. Weed and brush control results from spring applications will be dependent on sufficient rainfall following application to activate VELPAR L.

USE RATES

Use the lower rates on coarse-textured soils and soils low in organic matter; use the higher rates on fine-textured soils and on soils high in organic matter. Use the higher rates where hard-to- kill species predominate.

The rates listed below are for broadcast application.
