SPRAY EQUIPMENT

 

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

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Select a spray volume that will ensure a thorough and uniform application. Use at least 5 gal of water for every 1 gal of

VELPAR L.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

-CHRISTMAS TREES

•Do not use VELPAR L in nurseries, seed beds, or ornamental plantings.

•Do not add a surfactant in applications over the top of conifers.

•Weed control results from spring applications depend on sufficient moisture to activate VELPAR L.

•Do not cut treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic animals on treated areas for 60 days following application.

•Poor weed and brush control may result from the following: –Heavy duff or slash present at the time of application. –Use on poorly drained sites.

–Applications made when soil is saturated with water and rain is imminent within 24 hours.

–Applications to soils high in organic matter (greater than 5%).

•Crop injury may occur when VELPAR L is used on the following:

–Trees that show poor vigor, insect damage, disease, winter injury, or other stress conditions.

–Any soil containing less than 1% organic matter.

–Loamy sand or sandy loam with less than 2% organic matter (except Jeffrey Pine and Ponderosa Pine).

–Crop species not listed in this label.

–Conifer foliage after conifer bud break.

–Gravelly or rocky soils, exposed subsoils, clay knobs, sand, or sandy soil with 85% or more sand.

PINEAPPLE

VELPAR L is recommended for control of certain weeds in pineapple.

APPLICATION TIMING

- USE RATES - MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Use a sprayer properly calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery.

Mix the proper amount of VELPAR L in water. Add a surfactant at 0.25% by volume of water.

• Intercrop period - Apply VELPAR L as a broadcast spray in 100–400 gal of water per acre at the rate of 0.9–7 pt per acre. For aerial application, use at least 10 gal water per acre.

•Post mulch, preplant - Apply VELPAR L as a broadcast spray in 100–400 gal of water per acre at the rate of 0.9–7 pt per acre.

•Post plant, before planting material starts active growth - Apply VELPAR L as a broadcast spray in 100–400 gal of water per acre at the rate of 0.9–7 pt per acre.

A post-plant application should be made after planting material starts to grow only when weed growth has escaped control by other herbicide applications.

•Post-plant crop harvest, prior to forcing first ratoon - Apply VELPAR L as a broadcast spray in 100–400 gal of water per acre at the rate of 0.9–7 pt per acre.

•Directed postemergence (pineapple and weeds) inter- space application - Apply VELPAR L as a directed spray 3–10 months after planting in 50–200 gal of water per acre (broadcast basis) at the rate of 0.9–7 pt per acre (broadcast basis) using a stroller boom or knapsack.

•Directed spot treatments for perennial grasses before floral induction - Spray perennial grasses postemergence to wet (50–200 gals per acre depending on size) with 3.5–7 pt per 100 gal of water as a spot treatment.

•Treatments to field edges and roadsides - Apply VELPAR L at 7–14.5 pt per acre in 100–400 gal of water.
