DuPont Authentication H - 65190 manual NON-AGRICULTURAL Uses, Noncrop Industrial Sites

SPRAY EQUIPMENT

AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES

Basal (Soil)-Mix 2 2/3 pounds of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF with sufficient water to make one gallon of suspension and thoroughly agitate. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension with an exact-delivery handgun applicator. This equipment delivers a thin stream of predetermined volume when triggered. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension at the rate of 2 to 4 ml for each inch of stem diameter at breast height. Direct the treatment to soil within 3 inches of the root collar of woody plants to be controlled. When treating large stems and when more than one delivery of the VELPAR® DF suspension is needed per stem, make applications on opposite sides of the stem. Do not apply more than 1/3 gallon of the VELPAR® DF suspension per acre per year. Intermittent agitation may be required to maintain the VELPAR® DF in suspension.

USE PRECAUTIONS

PASTURE / RANGELAND

•Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if VELPAR® DF is applied or if equipment is drained or flushed on or near desirable trees or other plants, on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.

•Poor weed and brush control may result from the following: –Use on poorly drained sites

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

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

•Following mechanical cutting or clearing, allow stumps and injured trees sufficient time to adequately resprout before applying VELPAR® DF.

•Do not use VELPAR® DF on frozen soils.

•Weed and brush control results depend on sufficient moisture to activate VELPAR® DF.

•When VELPAR® DF is applied as a basal soil treatment, there is no restriction on grazing by domestic animals nor on cutting surrounding vegetation for forage or hay.

•For broadcast pasture applications of VELPAR® DF, do not cut treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic animals on treated areas for 60 days.

NON-AGRICULTURAL USES

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE

REQUIREMENTS

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.

Industrial and Pasture/Rangeland weed and brush control applications as described on this label for DuPont VELPAR DF are not within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard.

The area being treated must be vacated by unprotected persons.

Do not enter or allow entry into treated areas until sprays have dried to perform hand tasks.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

VELPAR® DF is recommended for general weed and brush control as follows: uncultivated nonagricultural areas (such as, airports, highway, railroad and utility right-of way, sewage disposal areas); uncultivated agricultural areas (non-crop producing, which includes: farmyards, fuel storage areas, fence rows, barrier strips); industrial sites (outdoor, such as, lumberyards, pipeline and tank farms).

NONCROP

INDUSTRIAL SITES

VELPAR® DF is recommended for control of many annual, biennial, and perennial weeds in noncrop, industrial sites.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Apply VELPAR® DF as a preemergence or postemergence spray when weeds are actively germinating or growing.

WEEDS CONTROLLED - USE RATE

VELPAR® DF effectively controls the following weeds when applied at the use rates shown in industrial sites. When applied at lower rates, VELPAR® DF provides short-term control of the weeds listed; when applied at higher rates, weed control is increased and extended.

Use lower rate on coarse-textured soils (sand to sandy loam). Use the higher rate on fine-textured soils(clay loam to clay) and on soils high in organic matter.
