SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
Control of Canada Thistle in Crown Vetch - VELPAR L is
recommended for control of Canada thistle in established stands
of crown vetch on noncrop sites. Make a single application of
3–5 pt of VELPAR L from late spring through mid-summer,
when thistle is actively growing prior to flowering. Do not use a
surfactant. Some discoloration of the crown vetch foliage may
occur after application.

Apply VELPAR L uniformly over the desired area using ground
equipment only.

For ground application, use enough water for thorough
coverage, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. Higher
application volumes may be needed to obtain uniform
application with handgun equipment.

established stands of bermudagrass and/or bahiagrass in noncrop
areas.
APPLICATION TIMING
Make a single application of VELPAR L per year when weeds
are actively growing.
