BROADCAST

Apply 2 to 4 gallons of DuPont™ VELPAR® L per acre as coarse spray by ground equipment or 2 to 3 gallons per acre by air (helicopter only). Use enough water for thorough coverage. For ground equipment, usually a minimum of 25 gallons per acre. For aerial equipment, usually a minimum of 10 gallons per acre. Higher volumes of water may be needed when water temperatures are cold or the higher rates of VELPAR® L are used.

BASAL (SOIL)

Undiluted - Apply VELPAR® L undiluted with an exact- delivery handgun applicator. This equipment delivers a thin stream of a predetermined volume when triggered. Apply VELPAR® L at the rate of 2 to 4 ml for each inch of stem diameter at breast height. Do not exceed 4 gallons of VELPAR® L per acre per year. Direct the treatment to the soil within 3 feet 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 applications 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 to 4 ml per 3 feet of canopy width. For tall, slender (columnar) brush types, apply 4 to 8 ml per 3 feet 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. Diluted - Mix one gallon of VELPAR® L with 5 or more gallons of water. Apply 2 to 4 gallons of VELPAR® L per acre. Direct the spray to the soil in a serpentine pattern so that the swath on the soil is 6 to 12 inches wide at the base of the brush. Swaths should be 2 to 4 feet apart.

*Suppression – a visible reduction in plant population and/or plant vigor as compared to an untreated area and generally not accepted as control.

†For Cholla cactus (tree-type cactus) apply VELPAR® L at the rate of 4 milliliters (mls) of product for plants up to 2 feet tall. Apply 8 mls of product for Cholla cactus plants between 2 and 6 feet tall. For plants taller than 6 feet, apply 4 mls for each additional 2 feet of height.

When treating plants it is desirable to make applications equally spaced around the plant.

USE PRECAUTIONS

NON-CROP

•Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if VELPAR® L 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.

•Application spray drift may injure desirable plants.

•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%).
