SPRAY EQUIPMENT
AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
Basal (Soil)-Mix 2 2/3 pounds of DuPont™ VELPAR® DF
with sufficient water to make one gallon of suspension and
t
horoughly agitate. Apply the VELPAR® DF suspension with
an exact-delivery handgun applicator. This equipment delivers a
thin stream of predetermined volume when triggered. Apply the
VELPAR® DF suspension at the rate of 2 to 4 ml for each inch
o
f stem diameter at breast height. Direct the treatment to soil
within 3 inches of the root collar of woody plants to be
controlled. When treating large stems and when more than one
delivery of the VELPAR® DF suspension is needed per stem,
make applications on opposite sides of the stem. Do not apply
more than 1/3 gallon of the VELPAR® DF suspension per acre
per year. Intermittent agitation may be required to maintain the
VELPAR® DF in suspension.
USE PRECAUTIONS
PASTURE / RANGELAND
• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if
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.
• Poor weed and brush control may result from the following:
–Use on poorly drained sites
–Applications made when the soil is saturated with water and
rain is imminent within 24 hours
–Applications to soils high in organic matter (greater
than 5%)
• Following mechanical cutting or clearing, allow stumps and
injured trees sufficient time to adequately resprout before
applying VELPAR® DF.
• Do not use VELPAR® DF on frozen soils.
• Weed and brush control results depend on sufficient moisture
to activate VELPAR® DF.
• When VELPAR® DF is applied as a basal soil treatment,
there is no restriction on grazing by domestic animals nor on
cutting surrounding vegetation for forage or hay.
•
F
or br
oadcast pastur
e applications of VELPAR® DF, do not
cut treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic
animals on treated areas for 60 days.

weeds listed; when applied at higher rates, weed control is
incr
eased and extended.
Use lower rate on coarse-textured soils (sand to sandy
loam). Use the higher rate on fine-textured soils(clay loam
to c
la
y) and on soils high in organic matter.
