PASTURE / RANGELAND BRUSH CONTROL DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for the control of undesirable brush in pasture or rangeland. APPLICATION INFORMATION Apply VELPAR® DF from late winter through summer, pre-budbreak until new growth hardens off. In areas where the soil remains frozen during the winter and spring rains are usually inadequate for soil activation, a fall or winter treatment may be applied before the soil freezes.
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.
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS Control of Canada Thistle in Crown Vetch - DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for control of Canada thistle in established stands of crown vetch on noncrop sites. Make a single application of 1 - 1 2/3 lb of VELPAR® DF from late spring through mid-summer, when thistle is actively growing prior to flowering.
When treating brush that requires more than a single delivery of the DuPont™ VELPAR® DF suspension, apply subsequent deliveries equally spaced around the target plant. If treating brush on sloping sites, apply most of the suspension on the uphill side of the stem. If treating resprouts from brush disturbed by cutting or other mechanical methods, the rate of application should be proportional to the original tree size, not just the size of sprout regrowth.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GENERAL TECHNIQUES • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle.
