For preemergence use only, DuPont™ VELPAR® DF may be
applied with aerial equipment using at least 10 gallons of spray
per acre.
For spot treatments of emerged weeds, VELPAR® DF may be
applied with a knapsack sprayer in concentrations of
0.6 - 4.8 pounds per 100 gallons of water. Apply a sufficient
volume to thoroughly wet weed foliage, but do not exceed 40
gallons of spray per treated acre. Use the lower concentrations
on coarse-textured soils that are low in organic matter, and use
the higher concentrations on fine-textured soils that are high in
organic matter.
LOUISIANA
Apply 2/3 - 1 2/10 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre broadcast
in the fall before sugarcane emerges or in the spring before
active cane tillering begins. Fall treatments of 2/3 - 1 2/10 pound
per acre may be followed by a spring treatment of 2/3 - 1 2/10
pound per acre. Do not apply more than 2 pound per year. Use
the lower rates on coarse textured soils and the higher rates on
fine textured soils.
PUERTO RICO
For preemergence treatments, apply 1/3 - 2/3 pound of
VELPAR® DF per acre.
For postemergence treatments, apply 1/3 - 2/3 pound of
VELPAR® DF per acre to weeds after they have emerged. Use
the lower rates on coarse-textured soils and the higher rates on
fine-textured soils (high in clay or organic matter). Each ratoon
may receive up to 2/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre.
For spot treatment of emerged weeds, VELPAR® DF may be
applied with a knapsack sprayer in concentrations of 1/3 - 2/3
pound per 100 gallons of water. Apply a sufficient volume to
wet the weed foliage. Do not exceed 100 gallons of spray per
treated acre. Use the lower concentration on coarse-textured
soils and the higher concentration on fine-textured soils.
Note: Since it is difficult to calibrate “spot” knapsack
applications, extra care must be taken not to exceed the rate
equivalent of the maximum of 2/3 pound VELPAR® DF per
acre.
Do not apply more than 1 1/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre
per crop season.
TEXAS
Apply 2/3 - 2 1/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre. On plant
cane, apply the herbicide before the cane emerges or as a
directed layby treatment. On stubble cane, apply VELPAR® DF
preemergence (up to the 3-leaf stage) or as a directed layby
treatment. Apre- or early postemergence treatment may be
followed by a layby treatment, provided at least 60 days have
elapsed and 3 inches of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation have
occurred since the first treatment.
Do not apply more than 2 1/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre
per season.
Use the following rates according to the different soil textures:

On dormant cane, a surfactant may be added to the spray
mixture to increase control of emerged weeds.
