• Use VELPAR® L only in stands of bermudagrass and
bahiagrass established for at least one year. Do not treat newly
sprigged or sodded areas.
• Some temporary discoloration of the bermudagrass or
bahiagrass may occur after application.
• Treatment of mixed pastures containing forage species other
than bermudagrass or bahiagrass may result in injury or
mortality to the other forage species.
• Injury may result when desirable grasses are under stress from
drought, insects, disease, cold temperature, or poor fertility.
•
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if
VELPAR® L 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.
• Severe crop injury may occur if applications are made on
