APPLICATION INFORMATION EASTERN US Apply DuPont™ VELPAR® DF 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).
GRID APPLICATION Mix 2 2/3 pounds of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF with sufficient water to make one gallon of suspension and thoroughly agitate. Intermittent agitation may be required to maintain the VELPAR® DF in suspension. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension directly to the soil surface in a grid pattern using an exact delivery handgun applicator.
drift and associated injury may be aggravated by high wind conditions. • The dry fertilizer must be properly impregnated and uniformly applied to avoid pine injury/mortality and poor weed and brush control. • Uniform and precise application of the impregnated fertilizer is essential for satisfactory weed and brush control and to minimize pine injury.

USE PRECAUTIONS INDUSTRIAL UNIMPROVED TURF • Use DuPont™ VELPAR® DF only in stands of bermudagrass and bahiagrass established for at least one year. Do not treat newly sprigged or sodded areas. • Some discoloration of the bermudagrass or bahiagrass may occur after application.
USE PRECAUTIONS NON-CROP • Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if DuPont™ 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.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Surface inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
