s
ignificant stubble left after cutting or grazing, or the air
temperature is above 90 °F.
DORMANT VARIETIES
M
ake a single application of DuPont™ VELPAR® L after
alfalfa becomes dormant and before new growth exceeds 2
inches in height in the spring. Where weeds have emerged, use a
surfactant.
USE RATES
Use higher rates on hard-to-control species, (see Weeds
Controlled section below) fine textured soils, soils
containing greater than 5% organic matter, or under adverse
environmental conditions such as temperature extremes or
when weeds are stressed due to low rainfall.
For dormant alfalfa, use a surfactant approved for crops at
the rate of 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons of spray
solution).
Select the appropriate rate for soil texture and organic
matter content as follows:
