Within several weeks after VELPAR L activation by rainfall, affected vegetation may be burned, if desired. This burn may further enhance control of vegetation. Burn the vegetation only after any residual stand is completely defoliated, at least twice, allowing for sufficient root uptake of VELPAR L. In the West, results may take one to two years in areas of low rainfall.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT

VELPAR L may be applied by ground equipment or by air (helicopter only).

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

For ground application, use enough water for thorough coverage, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. For aerial applications, use at least 5 gal of water per acre and at least 5 gal of water for every 1 gal of VELPAR L.

SITE PREPARATION - TANK MIXTURES

VELPAR L PLUS “TORDON101 MIXTURE” 1

For improved, broad-spectrum brush control, tank mix VELPAR L with TORDON 101 MIXTURE. Consult the VELPAR L Eastern US site preparation section and TORDON 101 MIXTURE labels for a listing of crop tree species where this combination can be used.

APPLICATION TIMING

Apply VELPAR L plus TORDON 101 MIXTURE from late spring to early summer after the trees have reached full leaf, but before leaf tissue hardens. In the states of Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, and Wisconsin, apply this tank mixture after bud break.

Refer to the use rate table in the VELPAR L Site Preparation section of this label for recommended rates based on soil texture. Also refer to the TORDON 101 MIXTURE label for rates based on species composition. Other weed and brush species may be controlled by VELPAR L plus TORDON 101 MIXTURE.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT

VELPAR L plus TORDON 101 MIXTURE may be applied by ground equipment or by air (helicopter only).

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

For ground application, use enough water for thorough coverage, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. For aerial applications, use at least 5 gal of water per acre. Use at least 5 gal of water for every 1 gal of VELPAR L. For best results, full foliar coverage is required.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

-VELPAR L + TORDON 101 MIXTURE

•To avoid injury, do not plant pine before the following intervals following application of Tordon 101 Mixture:

–Southern states - 6 months

–Lake states - 9 months

–Northeastern states - 9 months

•Burning treated sites after initial contact (browning) effect on foliage may result in poor control. Burn the vegetation only after brush has completely defoliated at least once, allowing sufficient root uptake of VELPAR L (usually 60-90 days after adequate rainfall).

•Before using Tordon 101 Mixture, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the product label. Tordon 101 Mixture is a restricted use pesticide, for retail sale to and use only by certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision and only for those uses covered by certified applicator’s certification.
