APPLICATION INFORMATION
DuPont™ VELPAR® DF may only be applied to pruned
blueberry fields in the spring before leaf emergence. Using
calibrated ground spray equipment, make the application in
sufficient water to provide thorough and uniform coverage
to the treated area (usually 20 gallons per acre). Shut off
spray booms when starting, turning, slowing or stopping, or
injury to the crop may result.

USE PRECAUTIONS
• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.
• Do not apply to flooded field with standing water.
• Do not apply within 450 days of harvest.
• Do not exceed 2.4 pounds per acre if field has been
treated with hexazinone within the past 8 years.
• Application to blueberry foliage will result in crop injury.
• Since the effect of VELPAR® DF on blueberries varies
with soil type, plant vigor, uniformity of applications and
amount of rainfall, it is suggested that growers limit their
first use to small areas. If excessive leaf drop is observed
after treatment, reduce rate in future applications.
• Maintain a 50 foot buffer from any well head or water
reservoir.
