Tennessee

Delaware

Minnesota

Texas

Florida

Mississippi

Virginia

Georgia

North Carolina

Wisconsin

Louisiana

Oklahoma

 

APPLICATION TIMING

Apply VELPAR L plus GARLON 4 from late spring to early summer after the trees have reached full leaf, but before leaf tissue hardens.

USE RATES

Refer to the use rate table in the Site Preparation section of this label for recommended rates of VELPAR L based on soil texture. Mix the recommended rate of VELPAR L with 4–8 qt of GARLON 4 per acre.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT

Apply VELPAR L plus GARLON 4 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 12 gal of water per acre.

For best results, full foliar coverage is required.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

-VELPAR L + GARLON 4

•Conifers planted sooner than two months after treatment with GARLON 4 at 1–2 gal per acre may be injured.

•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 GARLON 4, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the product label.

SITE PREPARATION

- UNDILUTED APPLICATIONS

VELPAR L is recommended for control of brush in site preparation.

GRID APPLICATION

Apply undiluted VELPAR L directly to the soil surface in a grid pattern using an exact delivery handgun applicator. This equipment delivers a thin stream of a predetermined volume. VELPAR L should be applied during the period from hardwood bud break to early summer.

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.

SINGLE STEM (BASAL SOIL)

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.

For multi-stemmed and low-growing brush that have stem diameters that are difficult to determine, apply VELPAR L at the rate of 2–4 ml per 3" of canopy width. For tall, slender (columnar) brush types, apply 4–8 ml per 3" of height. Base the rate on whichever canopy dimension is greater (width or height).

When treating brush that requires more than a single 4 ml application of VELPAR L, apply subsequent applications equally spaced around the plant. If treating brush on sloped sites, apply most of the VELPAR L on the uphill side of the stem. If treating resprouts from brush disturbed by cutting or shredding, the rate of application should be proportional to the original tree size, not just the small regrowth of sprouts.

INJECTION

No Worker Protection Standard worker entry restrictions or worker notification requirements apply when this product is directly injected into agricultural plants.

Inject 1 ml of undiluted VELPAR L through the bark of undesirable trees. Injections should be made at 4" intervals around the circumference of the tree. When using tubular injection equipment, inject near the ground level. When using the “Hypo-Hatchet” Tree Injector or a similar devise, inject at waist height. Treatment should be made in the summer. Woody species controlled include black cherry, oaks, and sweetgum.
