IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - SITE PREPARATION

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.

RELEASE - HARDWOOD SUPPRESSION

VELPAR L is recommended for conifer release where the following species are grown:

EASTERN US

Balsam fir	Red spruce
Black spruce	Shortleaf pine
Loblolly pine	Slash pine
Longleaf pine	Virginia pine
Norway spruce	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 full leaf expansion.

Applications made over the top of pines may result in excessive pine injury under conditions of high humidity and temperature (80 degrees F).

WESTERN US

Rainbelt (areas of high spring rainfall): For best results, apply in late winter or spring when brush is actively growing, but prior to conifer budbreak.. If application is 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 control results from spring treatments will be dependent on sufficient rainfall following application to activate

VELPAR L.
